‘Stalwart of Freedom Struggle’: Leaders Pay Tribute to Netaji

PM Modi, President Kovind and Rahul Gandhi were among the leaders who paid their tributes to Netaji.

Leaders paid their tributes to freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 122nd birth anniversary on Wednesday, 23 January.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Bose a "stalwart who committed his life towards a free India" and Congress President Rahul Gandhi remembered the leader by quoting Netaji.

“One individual may die for an idea but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.” 

Subhash Chandra Bose

Bose, one of the most prominent faces of the Indian freedom struggle, was the leader of the Congress youth wing in the late 1920s and became the Congress president in 1938. Netaji dissociated from the Congress later, but his struggle for India’s independence continued.

Here’s how leaders remembered Netaji:
