Speakers at a meeting in Odisha's Jajpur district said the sacrifice of freedom fighters should be the message for next generation.
This was stated by BJD MP Bhartuhari Mahatab, who addressed a meeting held yesterday on the occasion of the death anniversary of veteran freedom fighter Brundaban Tripathy at Baliapadia village of Jajpur district.
Mahatab is also the president of the All India Freedom Fighters Youth Front.
"The next generation should be made aware about the supreme sacrifice made by the freedom fighters. The youths will get inspiration from the life of heroes who dedicated their lives for the country," Mahatab said adding that Gandhiji's message of non-violence would never die.
Addressing the meeting organised by Jajpur District Freedom Fighters Samiti, Government Chief Whip Amar Prasad Satpathy said Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India Movement had created public awareness on Independence in nook and corner of the country including Odisha.
Satpathy said similar awareness is also required today to fight against corruption and other evils.
Former ministers Surendra Nath Nayak, Arun Kumar Sahoo (MLA), Freedom fighter Nilamani Samal and many other speakers addressing the gathering yesterday.
