Lahore, Mar 23 (PTI) Observing the 93rd death anniversary of independence war heroes -- Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev -- here on Saturday, their supporters and followers demanded to reopen the case to ensure justice to them like it was done in the case of former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
British rulers on March 23, 1931, hanged Bhagat Singh along with Raj Guru and Sukh Dev at Shadman Chowk here after trying them under the charge of hatching a conspiracy against the regime.
Bhagat Singh, respected across the subcontinent and not just by Sikhs and Hindus but also by Muslims, was initially jailed for life but later awarded death sentence in another “fabricated case.” Holding banners and chanting slogans, participants at the event held to observe the anniversary, demanded justice for Bhagat Singh.
