Raipur, 16 November 2021. Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel has paid tribute to freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai on his death anniversary on November 17. He said that Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the three prominent leaders of the freedom movement Lal-Bal-Pal, also known as Punjab Kesari. Lala ji played an important role in the implementation and promotion of Hindi language in the country. Lala ji’s statement ‘every stick lying on my body will act as a nail in the British government’s coffin’ when he was injured in the lathi-charge during the Simon Commission protest proved to be correct. Lala ji’s sacrifice increased the urge to get freedom for India among the people. The Chief Minister said that the country will always be indebted to Lala Lajpat Rai for his invaluable sacrifice and contribution.
