21 October 2021, Red Fort, Delhi – Today, a grand program was organized by the Ministry of Culture on the 78th anniversary of the Azad Hind government established by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

 

Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, Mrs. Meenakshi Rekhi told that the Azad Hind Government did the work of nation building and established its own army, postal stamp and bank. He said that we salute Netaji, the citizens of India, on the nectar of independence and the 125th anniversary of Netaji.

 

Hon'ble Shri Arjun Lal Meghwal, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Government of India, congratulated the country for the unexpected availability of this day. He said that this is the right time to expose the truth of history. He said that the Prime Minister of England had said many times that it became difficult for us to live in India because of the Azad Hind Fauj.

 

Major General GD Bakshi, who received the Army Medal, while honoring the veteran fighters and their relatives of the Azad Hind Fauj and at the time of publication of his book (The Military History of INA and Netaji), said that there is no such country in the world which has Martyr Memorial may have been broken even if it was of enemy country, but British had blown up the Martyr Memorial built by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in Singapore with a cannon. Although in 1968 this monument was rebuilt by people with mutual donations, but it clearly shows that the British used to tremble in the name of Netaji even in their dreams.

 

Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi, who received the Vir Chakra, said that a martyr memorial should be built for the 26 thousand martyred soldiers of the Azad Hind Fauj of 60 thousand. Honorable Meenakshi Rekhi ji also accepted this proposal. Colonel Tyagi said that there should be an advisory that all citizens of India should only say Jai Hind in mutual greetings in public places and only Jai Hind should be called.
