GUWAHATI: Even as the country is celebrating  its 71st Republic
Day on Sunday next, an Assam-based forum of nationalists in Northeast
India has urged the people to pay tributes to  countless martyrs of
the country’s freedom struggle hoisting the  national flag in every
nook and corner of the region, surrounded by various foreign nations.

Commenting on the present situation where thousands of Assam residents

are agitating against the citizenship amendment act 2019 (CAA) with
an  aim to keep the constitutional values intact and many other
agitators continue  demanding  benefits out of different clauses of
the Constitution, the  Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) believes
that more people this time would  pay respect to the Tri-colour.

Bharat (India) achieved independence from

the British colonial forces in 1947 and adopted its Constitution on January 26, 1950. Since then the day has been observed as R-Day every year where all known and unknown martyrs of the freedom movement are tenderly remembered saluting the national flag.

“Prior to our independence, millions of freedom fighters symbolically

set January  26 as our  Independence Day and continued the movement. It
is the moral responsibility of every Indian national to pay homage to
those martyrs on both I-Day and R-Day by hoisting the Tri-colour as
it symbolizes the suffering and sacrifices of those freedom
fighters,” said a PPFA statement.

The brief statement, issued in different languages including

Assamese, Nagamese, Mizo, Bengali, Hindi, Oriya, Sanskrit, Telugu,
Tamil, Kannada, Urdu, Nepali, Tibetan, Balochi, Kurdish and English, reminded  that a number of Assamese martyrs including Kanaklata Barua, Mukunda Kakoti, Kushal Konwar, Tilak Deka, Bhogeswari Phukanani, Nidhanu  Rajbangshi, Kamala Miri, Lerela Boro, Madan-Rauta, Hemoram Patar,  Gunabhi Bordoloi, Dayal Panika, etc., laid down their lives admiring for the sake of keeping  Tri-colour fly high.

The forum comprising individuals from different fields of activity

asserted that the national flag does not belong to any government or
political parties alone, rather it’s a priceless property for every
Bharatiya who feels proud of his identity enriched with a glorious
past.  It also emphasised on creating proper awareness about the great
nation eradicating all kinds of prejudices and confusions among the
mass.
