Paying tribute to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh on his 114th birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that his courageous sacrifice ignited the spark of patriotism among countless people. PM Modi took to his Twitter account to praise the freedom fighter for his ‘noble ideals’. The PM also said that he bows to the fallen fighter.
