The Chairman of Rajya Sabha delivered a formal address commemorating the 84th anniversary of the historic Quit India Movement. The movement was launched on August 9, 1942, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, and represented a defining milestone in India's freedom struggle. The Chairman noted that Gandhi's clarion call of "Do or Die" inspired millions of Indians to unite in the common cause of securing independence.
The address highlighted the severe repression, imprisonment, and hardships faced by freedom fighters during the movement, acknowledging their extraordinary courage, determination, and unwavering commitment. These sacrifices were described as having strengthened the national movement and paved the way for India to attain independence in 1947.
The Chairman called upon Members of the House to pay respectful homage to all participants of the Quit India Movement and observe silence as a mark of respect to the memory of the martyrs. The ideals of patriotism, unity, sacrifice, and dedication displayed by the freedom fighters were noted as continuing to inspire efforts toward building a strong, prosperous, and inclusive India.
