Guwahati: Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal recently honored the brave martyrs of the Assam Movement on Swahid Diwas. He offered flowers at his home to remember those who fought hard to protect the identity and culture of Assam.
Sonowal said, “The Assam Movement is an important part of India’s history. People from all backgrounds came together to save our Assamese identity and culture. Today, we remember the brave martyrs whose sacrifices guide us. Their courage and love for Assam inspire us to work hard for our community.
Sonowal, who once led students, emphasized that we owe our freedom today to the sacrifices of these martyrs. During the movement, many young people suffered greatly under Congress rule, which tried to silence them. Hundreds lost their lives, and many more faced terrible pain. He reminded everyone that the Congress Party, which talks about nationalism now, was responsible for those hard times—a truth the people of Assam will always remember.
He spoke with deep respect for the martyrs and asked today’s youth to honor their sacrifices. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government is making efforts to celebrate and remember their legacy. As we work towards a better India, the bravery and sacrifices of these martyrs will keep inspiring us.”
Sonowal was joined by other leaders, including MP Pradan Baruah and Rajya Sabha MP Rameswar Teli.
