New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday remembered all those who took part in the Quit India Movement under Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership and strengthened our freedom struggle.
“Remembering all those who took part in the Quit India Movement under Bapu’s leadership and strengthened our freedom struggle,” the Prime Minister said in a series of tweets.
He shared a picture of Mahatma Gandhi at the start of the Quit India Movement in Bombay, sourced from the Nehru Memorial Collection.
He also shared a news clipping of JP Narayan’s appeal for a ‘hartal’ and quoted quoted him – “August 9 has become a burning symbol of our national revolution”.
“Inspired by Bapu, the Quit India Movement witnessed remarkable participation from people across all sections of society including greats like JP and Dr. Lohia,” he said.
The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Kranti, was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee by Mohandas Gandhi on August 8, 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British rule in India. (UNI)
