NEW DELHI, Mar 22 : Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said today that perpetrators of terrorism are finally consumed by terrorism itself.
He said, hailing from a terror affected region, he has been witness to terrorism in all its ramifications and can say with certain amount of confidence that the perpetrator of terror rides the tiger and is finally consumed by the same tiger.
Speaking at “Basanti Chola Diwas” to pay homage to Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev in New Delhi, Dr Jitendra Singh said, Bhagat Singh’s crusade against the British oppression was infact for justice against reign of terror unleashed by the British.
Paying glowing tributes to Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, a day ahead of ‘Shaheed Diwas’ to mark the death anniversary of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, the revolutionary leaders who were hanged at the Lahore Central Jail in Lahore on March 23, 1931, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the revolutionary zeal of Bhagat Singh shook the British Empire and only 16-17 years later British were forced to quit India in 1947.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, Bhagat Singh was the first Human Rights Activist of the 20th Century, much ahead of when the concept of Human Rights came into existence. He said, apart from a martyr and freedom fighter, Bhagat was a great thinker and philosopher and there was amalgamation of both Gandhi and Karl Marx in his writings and thoughts.
