At the 69th edition of 'Mann Ki Baat' on Sunday, the PM spoke extensively about Bhagat Singh. "I want to take you down the memory lane. This pertains to something that happened 101 years ago. In 1919, British rulers massacred innocent people at Jallianwala Bagh. After the massacre, a 12-year-old boy went to the spot and saw things which were beyond his imagination. He was shocked to see how can anyone be so cruel. The innocent boy was angry. He swore to fight the British colonial rulers...I join countrymen in bowing before Shaheed Bhagat Singh, the symbol of bravery and courage," the Prime Minister said.

"They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas... They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit..." Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu wrote in his tribute on Bhagat Singh.
