CM of Haryana unveils the statue of Subhas Chandra Bose

In celebration of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's 125th birth anniversary, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar unveiled a statue of him here in a park named in his honor.

In his remarks, the Chief Minister said, "Today's occasion gives us a golden opportunity to remember the freedom era of our country and the pivotal contributions made by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and many others who had made supreme sacrifices for country's freedom."

Khattar urged the nation's youth to devote their lives to serving the country while drawing inspiration from Netaji's ideals and sacrifices.

According to the Chief Minister, Netaji along with his brave army of 50,000 Azad Hind Fauj had shaken the foundation of foreign rule with his unparalleled struggle for India in that great era when India was struggling to get itself free from the clutches of British rule.

As the country celebrates its 75th anniversary of independence through Amrit Mahotsav, 495 programs - with a slogan of 'Haryana bolega Jai Hind Bose' - are being held across the state with public participation, said the Chief Minister.
