KOLKATA: The state Legislative Assembly on Wednesday moved a resolution to commemorate the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy that took place in Amritsar in 1919 and to pay tributes to those who had laid down their lives in open firing by the British police, following the instruction of General Dyer.
On the centenary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the House recalled the horror, the wanton cruelty, and inhumanity shown by Dyer and the British government in Punjab during the colonial era. Bengal is perhaps the first state to move a resolution to pay respect to the martyrs.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said during her speech in the Assembly that Jallianwala Bagh and the other major incidents that took place during the British rule must find more prominence in the history textbooks. In the same breath, she accused the Narendra Modi government in the Centre of rewriting history and changing the syllabus.
