MP CM bows to Lokmanya, Azad

Bhopal, July 23 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid floral tributes on Friday to immortal freedom fighters Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak and revolutionary Chandrashekhar Azad on their birth anniversaries.
A personage none other than Father of the Nation Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had described the Lokmanya as ‘The Maker of Modern India’.

It goes without saying that ‘Panditji’ Azad inspired millions of Indian youth down the decades through his courageous actions culminating in the shootout with the British police at Allahabad’s Alfred Park (later renamed Chandrashekhar Azad Park) during which Azad attained martyrdom.
