PM Modi: August 14 to be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his tweet today declared that August 14 will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day throughout our country every year to commemorate the sorrow and loss faced by the people during partition. “Partition’s pains can never be forgotten. Millions of our sisters and brothers were displaced and many lost their lives due to mindless hate and violence. In memory of the struggles and sacrifices of our people, 14th August will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day,” tweeted PM Modi. According to him,” Partition Horrors Remembrance Day will not only inspire us to eliminate the poison of discrimination, animosity, and ill-will, but it will also strengthen unity, social harmony, and human sensibilities.” The Prime Minister’s announcement on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day comes a day ahead of India’s 75th Independence Day. Pakistan observes its Independence Day on August 14.
