Amit Shah, Leaders Pay Tribute To Sukhdev Thapar On Birth Anniversary

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday paid heartfelt tributes to revolutionary freedom fighter Sukhdev Thapar on his birth anniversary, remembering his courage, patriotism and supreme sacrifice in India’s freedom struggle.

In a post on X, Amit Shah described Sukhdev as a symbol of indomitable courage and unwavering devotion to the nation. He said Sukhdev dedicated his entire life to the cause of India’s freedom and made independence the sole mission of his life.

Shah also recalled Sukhdev’s role alongside Bhagat Singh and Shivaram Rajguru in avenging the death of nationalist leader Lala Lajpat Rai. He said the revolutionaries’ sacrifice would continue to inspire generations of Indians to serve the nation with dedication and patriotism.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also paid homage to Sukhdev Thapar and described him as a brave son of Mother India.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remembered the revolutionary leader for his sacrifice and commitment to protecting the honour and freedom of the nation. He said Sukhdev’s life would continue to inspire citizens to remain devoted to national duty and patriotism.

Born on May 15, 1907, Sukhdev Thapar was a prominent revolutionary in India’s freedom movement and a key member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA).

Alongside Bhagat Singh and Rajguru, Sukhdev Thapar became an iconic figure in the struggle against British rule, especially after the death of Lala Lajpat Rai during protests against the Simon Commission.

The three revolutionaries were executed in Lahore Jail on March 23, 1931.

India observes Shaheed Diwas every year on March 23 to honour their sacrifice and patriotism.
