14 August Will Be Observed As Partition Horrors Remembrance Day: PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi stressed the need to remove the 'poison of social divisions'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared that August 14 will be observed as 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' in memory of people’s struggles and sacrifices during that period.

Partition’s pains can never be forgotten. Millions of our sisters and brothers were displaced and many lost their lives due to mindless hate and violence. In memory of the struggles and sacrifices of our people, 14th August will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
