PPFA appeals to hoist Tri-colour paying respect to martyrs

Guwahati: Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) reiterates its appeal to the people of Assam as well as northeast India to hoist the National flag in every locality as a mark of tributes to the martyrs of our freedom struggle and also respect to the Indian constitution on the forthcoming 70th Republic Day.
The forum pointed out that a number of martyrs from Assam including Kanaklata Barua, Mukunda Kakoti, Kushal Konwar, Tilak Deka, Bhogeswari Phukanani, Nidhanu Rajbongshi, Kamala Miri, Lerela Boro, Madan-Rauta, Hemoram Patar, Gunabhi Bordoloi, Dayal Panika with many others laid down their lives for the honour of the Tri-colour.
Prior to India’s independence, the freedom fighters symbolically set 26 January as India’s Independence Day and continued their struggles.
Every Indian should pay homage to the martyrs of our freedom struggle on both Republic & Independence Day by hoisting the Tri-colour as it reflects the suffering and sacrifices of our freedom fighters, it added.
PPFA maintained that without showing respects to those freedom fighters, one should not cry demanding various constitutional rights.
Moreover, the forum clarified that the Tri-colour does not belong to the government machinery alone, but it’s a priceless property of over one billion Indians, which reminds us our immediate glorious past.
