Mamata Banerjee pays tribute to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary

On the occasion of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversary, Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, honored the iconic freedom fighter with a heartfelt tribute. Taking to the microblogging site X on Tuesday morning, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee shared a post featuring Netaji's picture, expressing that the entire world joins in paying homage and respect to the legendary figure on this significant day.

Born on January 23, 1897, in Cuttack, Orissa, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence. Known for inspiring the youth with slogans like "Give me blood, I will give you freedom," "Jai Hind-Jai Bharat," and "Dilli Chalo," he initially collaborated with Mahatma Gandhi in the fight for independence but later parted ways to independently confront the British.

Establishing the Forward Bloc in 1939 and subsequently forming the Azad Hind Fauj on October 21, 1943, Bose led armed resistance against the British. Despite his significant contributions, the mystery surrounding his demise persists, leading to calls for the Indian government to disclose all confidential documents related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

As we celebrate the 127th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, my heart swells with deep admiration for a true hero who, for me, has been a perennial source of inspiration. His courage, vision and love for the motherland has stirred profound emotions within me.…
