Chandigarh,
Mar
23:
Haryana
Chief
Minister
Bhupinder
Singh
Hooda
led
the
people
of
the
State
in
paying
rich
tributes
to
Shaheed
Bhagat
Singh,
Raj
Guru
and
Sukhdev
on
the
occasion
of
their
77th
martyrdom
day
at
a
function
organised
at
Haryana
Congress
Bhawan
here
today.
While
speaking
on
the
occasion,
Mr
Hooda
said
the
biggest
contribution
of
these
martyrs
was
that
they
infused
in
the
hearts
of
millions
of
Indians
a
desire
to
free
the
country
from
the
British
rulers.
When
Shaheed
Bhagat
Singh
was
sent
to
the
gallows,
it
created
such
an
impact
in
the
country
that
Mahatma
Gandhi
had
declared
that
the
country
would
certainly
get
freedom
and
he
was
proved
right,
Mr
Hooda
said.
Mr
Hooda
stressed
that
the
real
tribute
to
these
martyrs
would
be
to
realise
their
dreams
of
making
India
a
progressive
and
prosperous
nation,
for
which
they
had
sacrificed
their
lives.
The
Working
President
of
Haryana
Pradesh
Congress
Committee,
Dr
Ram
Prakash,
urged
the
people
to
read
the
book
written
by
Shaheed
Bhagat
Singh's
niece
on
his
life
and
deeds
and
get
inspiration.
He
said
this
being
the
birth
centenary
year
of
Shaheed
Bhagat
Singh,
even
the
venue
of
the
Sirsa
rally
was
named
after
him.
Political
Adviser
to
Chief
Minister,
Prof.
Virender,
narrated
the
incident
when
Shaheed
Bhagat
Singh's
mother,
on
hearing
that
her
son
would
be
hanged,
had
said
that
her
son
would
marry
the
freedom
of
India
and
two
of
his
associates
Raj
Guru
and
Sukhdev
would
form
the
marriage
procession.
A
two-minute
silence
was
also
observed
to
pay
homage
to
these
martyrs
at
the
function
attended
among
others
by
Dr
Ram
Prakash,
newly-elected
Rajya
Sabha
member,
Agriculture
Minister,
H
S
Chatha,
Education
Minister,
Mr
Phool
Chand
Mullana,
Minister
of
State
for
Cooperation,
Ms
Meena
Mandal
and
a
number
of
MLAs
and
several
workers
of
the
Congress
Party.
Several

highlighting
the
sacrifices
made
by
the
martyrs
were
