Undoing efforts of past to obliterate many heroes: PM

New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi on Sunday unveiled a hologram of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate, putting the legendary hero of the freedom struggle on the same pedestal as Gandhi, Nehru, Patel and Ambedkar.

Emphasising that the hologram of Netaji will soon be replaced by a one cast in stone, the PM said the installation marks a “homage to the hero of freedom by the grateful nation and will keep reminding our institutions and coming generations the lesson of national duty”. He said, “The freedom struggle involved ‘tapasya’ of lakhs of countrymen, but attempt were made to diminish their contributions. But today the country is boldly correcting those mistakes.” Dipak Dash reports.
