Oppn blames government for Martyrs' Day goof-up


Mar 25 (Mumbai Mirror): The opposition on Thursday blamed the "casual" approach of the BJP-led government in Maharashtra for the goof-up at an event that was held to mark the death anniversary of the freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru.

At the Martyrs' Day event on Wednesday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis paid tribute to freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru, who were hanged in Lahore on March 23, 1931.

The photos of the three martyrs were prominently displayed but in a major goofup, the photo labelled Sukhdev was that of Bhagat Singh.

"Those in power now have nothing to do with martyrs and the glorious history of our freedom struggle," NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik told PTI.

He added that such good-ups might continue to happen since solemn events like Shaheed Diwas (Martyrs' Day) are treated in a casual manner by the current government.

Malik demanded that action should be taken not only against the officials concerned but also against the higher-ups.
