Punjab Legislative assembly on Tuesday adopted a unanimous resolution moved by the leader of the house and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to install the statues of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, Bharat Ratan Bhim Rao Ambedkar, and Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the complex of the assembly.
“As an indebted nation, we can never forget the contribution of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh who laid his life for freedom of the country. Likewise, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar shaped the destiny of the country in pre-and post-Independence era as chief architect of the Indian constitution,” said Mann.
Mann said the state government would leave no stone unturned for perpetuating the legacy of these great personalities. Likewise, a statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh would also be constructed within the premises of the Assembly as a humble and befitting tribute to the founder of Khalsa Raj, reads the resolution.
Mann also announced to declare a gazetted holiday across the state on the martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Shaheed Rajguru and Shaheed Sukhdev on March 23 as a tribute to the martyrs.
