Bhagat Singh was an Indian socialist revolutionary born in Punjab in 1907.
In his letter, Congress leader Manish Tiwari said Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev have inspired an entire generation of patriots with their unrelenting resistance to British imperialism and later with their supreme sacrifice on March 23, 1931.
If the world has not reached a consensus on defining terrorism and a terrorist, then India has also contributed to this confusion.
The move has been criticised by the Congress-affiliated NSUI and Left-backed AISA which said Savarkar cannot be kept on the same pedestal as Subhash Chandra Bose and Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
Pakistani Lawyer Imran Rashid Qureshi has moved the Lahore High Court seeking reopening of the Saunders' murder case to prove that Bhagat Singh was 'innocent'.
Raising slogans against former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, the protesters garlanded the signboard with shoes and slippers and sprayed black paint on it.
Modi's campaigning for the BJP against the ruling Congress party in poll-bound Karnataka was found to be riddled with factual inaccuracy.

"Bhagat Singh is our hero and is entitled to be bestowed upon the greatest medal of gallantry (Nishan-e-Haider) like Maj Aziz Bhahti who also wrote on the bravery Bhagat Singh and declared him his 'hero and ideal'."
Advocate Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi filed a fresh petition yesterday in the Lahore High Court for the early hearing of his case to prove Singh's innocence.
The Indian Law Journal claims that all the witnesses had been coached and that Bhagat Singh had put the gun on a table before surrendering.
He was not the first or last revolutionary to be killed by the British but none could capture the imagination of the people of India the way he did.

The pandemic has made it clear that virtual learning is here to stay. In the West, the big question is whether it will dilute the quality of the college experience and education. In India, which grapples with digital divide, the question remains whether this will reach most people at all.
