Odisha CM remembers Partition victims, calls it India's 'darkest chapter'

Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi honors Partition victims, calls it India's darkest chapter while praising Modi's efforts to rectify historical injustices.

"The Partition Horrors Remembrance Day teaches us that national unity must come above all for the sake of the motherland. – CM Mohan Charan Majhi"

Bhubaneswar, Aug 14

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday remembered the sacrifices of lakhs of Indians who suffered terribly during the partition of India, calling it the darkest chapter of Indian history.

Taking to his X handle, CM Majhi on Thursday said, “The Bibhajan Bibhishika Smruiti Divas or the #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay teaches us that it is necessary to place national unity and pride above all for the sake of the motherland. The Partition Horrors Remembrance Day is not an ordinary day for us; it is an occasion to remember the dark chapter of our history where British and vested interests Indians broke our country into pieces for their political ambitions.”

He further added that due to the partition in 1947, lakhs of Indians became homeless, innumerable families got separated from each other, while thousands of innocent people were killed based on their religion. He asserted that the BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been rectifying the historical injustices done by the Britishers and some Indians with political ambitions.

“Their courage, sacrifice, and steadfast determination have built today’s India. On this Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, I remember their struggle and sacrifice and pay my tributes to them. Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government is not merely indulging in remembrance, but it is also working to rectify the historical injustices. The dream of ‘One Nation, One Law, One Symbol’ has been fulfilled by removing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir,” CM Majhi added.

Majhi claimed that whether on the borders or the world stage, today India does not compromise on its unity and sovereignty and delivers a strong response to any aggressor. “On this Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, as we remember the sacrifices of our ancestors, today’s new India salutes their courage and resolve,” said Majhi.

While remembering partition is important, I wish our leaders would focus more on current issues like unemployment and inflation. The past cannot be changed but present problems need urgent attention.

The removal of Article 370 was a historic step towards true integration of J&K with India. My salute to all the martyrs who suffered during partition and to our brave soldiers protecting borders today.

As someone from the UK, I feel ashamed of what my ancestors did to India. The partition was a cruel act that caused unimaginable suffering. It's heartening to see India rising above that trauma and becoming a global power.

My nani used to tell us how they walked for days from Rawalpindi to Delhi with just the clothes on their back. We must teach this history to our children so such tragedies never repeat. Jai Hind!

While the CM makes valid points, we must be careful not to use partition memories to create new divisions today. The best tribute would be to build an India where all communities feel equally secure and valued.

The British divided us but today we stand united as the world's largest democracy. From scrapping 370 to building Ram Mandir, Modi ji is correcting historical wrongs
