Remembering the horrors of the Partition of India in 1947, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today paid tribute to those who endured the “horrific consequences” of hatred and violence, assuring that the government is fully committed to further strengthening social harmony in the country.
As India marks Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, Singh recalled the “painful chapter” in the nation’s history.
In a post on X, the Union Minister wrote:”On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, recalling that painful chapter of 1947, I pay tribute to all those brothers and sisters who had to endure the horrific consequences of hatred and violence following India’s partition and witnessed the loss of life and property.”
Reaffirming the government’s resolve, he added, “Even today, every Indian feels empathy for those affected families. We are fully committed to further strengthening social harmony in the country.”
On August 14, India observes ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ to pay tribute to those who lost their lives and were displaced during the country’s partition in 1947.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also paid tribute to the millions affected by the Partition in 1947, while accusing the Congress party of dividing the country into “pieces” and “hurting the pride of Mother India.
Shah wrote, “PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay is a day to express condolences by remembering the pain of those who suffered due to the partition of the country and its tragedy.”
“On this day, the Congress party divided the nation into pieces, hurting the pride of Mother India. The partition led to violence, exploitation, and atrocities, and millions of people endured displacement.”
“I offer my heartfelt tribute to all those people. The country will never forget the history and pain of the partition. I offer my tribute to those who lost their lives in this horror of the partition,” the post read.
