Rahul Gandhi on Jallianwala Bagh Memorial revamp:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the Jallianwala Bagh Renewed Memorial in Punjab to preserve history. Prime Minister Modi has said that past events teach us many lessons, and the step of Jallianwala Bagh renovation was taken to preserve the history, and remember the martyrs.
जलियाँवाला बाग़ के शहीदों का ऐसा अपमान वही कर सकता है जो शहादत का मतलब नहीं जानता।
मैं एक शहीद का बेटा हूँ- शहीदों का अपमान किसी क़ीमत पर सहन नहीं करूँगा।
हम इस अभद्र क्रूरता के ख़िलाफ़ हैं। pic.twitter.com/3tWgsqc7Lx
While the renovation of Jallianwala Bagh Monument was opposed by many. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also opposed the Jallianwala Bagh renovation by saying that more than 1 thousand people were killed in this Jallianwala Bagh massacre 102 years ago. Thousands of women and men were gunned down by the British during a peaceful protest. It is an insult to the martyrs that the Jallianwala Bagh Monument was renovated. I too am the son of a martyr. Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "I will never tolerate this insult to the martyrs."
Those who didn’t struggle for freedom can’t understand those who did.
