Fatehgarh Sahib, July 31

Newly appointed PCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu paid tribute to Shaheed Udham Singh on his martyrdom day at a memorial situated at Rauza Sharif here today.

“The communities and nations that forget and don’t respect their martyrs cannot make progress and their future is not safe,” he said, remembering the sacrifice of the martyr, who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by assassinating General Michael O’ Dwyer in London.

He called upon people to take a pledge to wage a war against social evils and build a healthy society by maintaining communal harmony. The PPCC president was on a whirlwind tour of the Fatehgarh Sahib constituency represented by PCC working president Kuljit Nagra. Sidhu refused to address the media but agreed to answer non-political queries. — OC
