The revolutionary freedom fighter born in Banga village of Faisalabad district was a charismatic Indian socialist revolutionary still remembered for his heroics in the Indian Independence movement. Singh was only 23 when he was hanged in the Lahore jail along with Shivaram Hari Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar on March 23, 1931.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday paid tribute to Bhagat Singh at the Delhi Assembly. Paying a floral tribute to Singh along with Sukhdev and Rajguru, Kejriwal said that the freedom fighter's values would always be upheld by the Delhi government.

The union minister said that Bhagat Singh became the ‘supreme symbol of the Indian independence movement’ at a young age. “Bhagat Singh ji loved the freedom and honour of the country more than his life. He not only became the supreme symbol of the Indian independence movement with his courage and revolutionary ideas at a young age, but his patriotism united the whole country. Blessings to such a great patriot on his birth anniversary,” Shah tweeted.
भगत सिंह जी को अपने प्राणों से ज्यादा देश की स्वतंत्रता और सम्मान प्यारा था। वो अल्पायु में ही अपने साहस व क्रांतिकारी विचारों से न सिर्फ भारतीय स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन के सर्वोच्च प्रतीक बने बल्कि उनके राष्ट्रप्रेम ने पूरे देश को एक किया।
