New Delhi, Jan 15: The Republic Day Celebrations will now start from 23 January instead of 24 January in order to include the birth anniversary of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, said government sources.
This is in line with Moddi government’s focus on celebrating important aspects of Indian history and culture.
Last year, the Narendra Modi government decided that the birth anniversary of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose will be celebrated as ‘Parakram Divas’.
In response to the government announcement, Netaji’s grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose said that, “to really honour Subhash Chandra Bose, one should understand his ideology and implement it. Today divisive politics is tearing the nation apart. The Republic Day parade will be meaningless if we don’t have a Netaji tableau in it.”
