Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid tribute to the revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives for the independence of the country on the conclusion of the Kakori Train Action Centenary celebrations on Friday (August 8) and called upon the present generation to perform patriotism and indigenous. He said in clear terms, “Swadeshi becomes the goal and mantra of our life. We will live for Swadeshi and for the country.” CM Yogi said that when India moves forward with the spirit of this patriotism, then no strength of the world will be able to make his hair shake.

Yogi recalled the historical event of the Kakori incident, saying that on 9 August 1925, the revolutionaries who attacked the British treasury and used it for the freedom struggle became the basis of the freedom of 1947. He said that only Rs 4,600 was looted at that time, but the British government spent more than 10 lakh rupees to catch him. Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, Thakur Roshan Singh and Rajendranath Lahiri were hanged without prosecution. Chandrashekhar Azad faced the British till the end and received Veeragati. Yogi said that this incident of Kakori is a source of inspiration for today’s generation and every Indian should express gratitude to those revolutionaries.

The Chief Minister reiterated the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards making the Amrit Mahotsav of independence meaningful and said that the tricolor should be hoisted at every house, the tricolor journey should be taken out in every ward of the village-school and the message of unity of the country should be spread. He said that if we move forward with this resolution, then this festival will prove to be successful in connecting every Indian to the country again.

CM Yogi called upon the countrymen to adopt indigenous products instead of foreign goods and said that when we buy foreign goods, not only lose money, but that money also nurtures terrorism and extremism. He appealed to give and buy only indigenous gifts in the upcoming festivals like Rakshabandhan, Janmashtami, Dussehra, Deepawali and Chhath. The Chief Minister said that indigenous goods may be a bit expensive, but they benefit the artisans and development of the country. On October 2, he also appealed to go to Gandhi Ashram and take a pledge to buy Khadi.

In the program, the Chief Minister paid tribute to the martyrs of Kakori Train Action, planted the Peepal plant, tied Rakhi to the young girls, gifted them sweets and chocolate. He went to the museum and took a selfie, got a photoshoot done and honored the families of the martyred soldiers on the stage. A book based on Kakori Train Action was also released on the occasion, and a cultural program based on the incident was presented by the Department of Culture.
