Delhi/Hyderabad, Jan 23 (Maxim News) On the occasion of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s 126 birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi named 21 major islands of Andaman and Nicobar after Param Vir Chakra winners today.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, present on the occasion, said that India is the first country to have done this, as no other country in the world had named an island after the brave soldiers who fought for the nation. Amit Shah said that it s an important day for the three wings of the Indian military.

he said that the Prime Minister’s decision t name the islands after the soldiers had worked to connect the country with the memories of independence.

He called the jail a place of pilgrimage of freedom.

Amit Shah said that when Netaji began trying to liberate the country by forming the Azad hind Fauj, this part became Independent first, he said that the Tricolour was hoisted here for the first time by Netaji and the Prime Minister named 21 islands here after those who sacrificed their lives for the country, the act of whom would be written in golden letters in India’s history. He announced Netaji’s memorial on his birth anniversary. Amit Shah said that many efforts were made to forget Subhas Chandra Bose, but those who are brave are not dependent on anyone for their memory.

He said, that lighting the Amar Jyoti had been stopped in the jail and the practice was restarted by the Prime Minister. (Maxim News)

अंडमान की इसी पावन भूमि पर स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन का तीर्थस्थान सेल्युलर जेल है। नेताजी ने भी इसी भूमि को सबसे पहले आजाद कर यहाँ तिरंगा फहराया। pic.twitter.com/3UEoIgEE6I

नेताजी एक ध्रुव तारे की तरह हैं। उनको भुलाने के अनेक प्रयास किये गये। मगर मोदी जी ने नेताजी की जयंती को 'पराक्रम दिवस' के रूप में मानना हो, कर्तव्य पथ पर उनकी प्रतिमा लगाना हो, सुभाष द्वीप पर उनका भव्य स्मारक बनाना हो, जैसे कई कदम उठाकर उन्हें सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि देने का काम किया। pic.twitter.com/EGN58h8Aes
