New Delhi, Jan 23: On the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary of Netali Subhas Chandra Bose, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a hologram statue of the freedom fighter at India Gate in New Delhi.
The hologram statue is a placeholder until a granite statue is installed at the site.
The unveiling ceremony was addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah.
“This is a historic location and a historic occasion,” PM Modi said. The government announced earlier this week that Republic Day celebrations in the country would begin on January 23 every year to incorporate the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. His birth anniversary is celebrated every year as Parakram Diwas.
I am glad to see the immense enthusiasm towards the unveiling of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s hologram statue at India Gate this evening at 6 PM. At the same programme, the ‘Subhas Chandra Bose Aapda Prabandhan Puraskars’ would also be conferred. https://t.co/7RJzLrLC7a
