Hoshiarpur, September 28

Shaheed Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, Lahore (Pakistan), celebrated the 112th birthday of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at the Lahore High Court’s lawns today. A cake was cut and a peace march taken out by its Chairman Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi. The celebrations were also attended by a large number of lawyers.

The ceremony was presided over by Abdul Rashid Qureshi, a member of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan, while Advocate Hafiz-Ur-Rehman Chaudhary was the chief guest. Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi said Mohammad Ali Jinnah had once said that great people like Shaheed Bhagat Singh were rarely born. He demanded that in accordance with this statement of Jinnah, the Government of Pakistan should give the highest honour of the country, Nishan-e-Haider, to the martyr. He said the Government of India was also urged to honour Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh with Bharat Ratna.

Talking to The Tribune from Lahore over the phone, Qureshi said the foundation was also striving to include the story of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev and their sacrifices in the school syllabus in Pakistan.
