Unfortunate that communal forces project Bhagat Singh as their hero'

March 23, 2011
Mangalore, March 23: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) organised an awareness torch light procession against the corruption and imperialism on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the execution of freedom fighter Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his three associates Rajguru and Sukhdev.


Around 75 men and women cadres, some of them wearing masks of Bhagat Singh and holding flags, on Monday took out a march from the office of Deputy Commissioner at around 7:00pm and converged at Clock Tower Circle where they lashed out at what they called the corrupt and imperialistic policies of the state and central governments. They also raised slogans extolling the virtues of the martyred leader.



Speaking on the occasion, Muneer Katipalla, district unit president of DYFI, said Bhagat Singh never hesitated to sacrifice his life in fighting against imperialist powers. “But, the sad thing is that the heralds of imperialism and communalism are projecting Bhagat Singh as if he was their leader,” he said.


When Bhagat Singh was executed along with his associates in Lahore Jail 80 years ago, his war cry “Inquilab Zindabad” had echoed all over India, Katipalla said adding that his slogan was neither 'Bolo Bharat Matha ki Jai' nor 'Vande Mathararam'.


He also said that there has been no change in the ground situation whatsoever, since Bhagat Singh's death. The problems our country faced 80 years ago, continue to exist. “Colonial forces are still going strong, albeit in a different form”, he added.



Bhagat Singh was hanged by the British on March 23, 1931 at the young age of 23 for his revolutionary activities in pursuit of India's freedom. His martyrdom has gone on to inspire many generations of revolutionaries in the country to sacrifice their lives to defend truth, justice and freedom.
