“Tributes to those martyred in Jallianwala Bagh on this day in 1919. Their unparalleled courage and sacrifice will keep motivating the coming generations. Sharing my speech at the inauguration of the renovated complex of Jallianwala Bagh Smarak last year,” PM Modi tweeted.
Last year in August, Modi had virtually inaugurated the Jallianwala Bagh memorial complex in Amritsar and said that it is every country’s right to protect its history.
ਭਾਰਤ ਦੇ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਲ੍ਹਿਆਂਵਾਲਾ ਬਾਗ਼ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਖ਼ੂਨੀ ਸਾਕਾ ਹੈ ਜਿਸਨੂੰ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਸਾਡੇ ਰੌਂਗਟੇ ਖੜ੍ਹੇ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਸਾਡੇ ਮਹਾਨ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ, ਅਸੀਂ ਕਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਭੁੱਲ ਸਕਦੇ। ਸਾਰੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੋਏ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਦੇ ਰਿਣੀ ਰਹਾਂਗੇ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਦਕਾ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਮਿਲੀ

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also paid tributes to the victims. Tweeting in Ounjabi he wrote: In the history of India, Jallianwala Bagh is such a bloody massacre that even today our hair stands on end. We will never forget the sacrifices made by our great martyrs. All our lives we will be indebted to these martyrs who gave us this freedom. Long live the revolution!”
Hundreds of people protesting peacefully against the Rowlatt Acts, which granted the colonial administration repressive powers, were gunned down by British forces without any provocation in what became one of the most brutal turns in their occupation of India.
