Quit India 1942: Modi, Birla and Nadda reflect on legacy of courage

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Health Minister JP Nadda joined forces on social media to commemorate the 84th anniversary of the Quit India Movement. Their messages highlighted the enduring relevance of the 1942 ‘August Revolution’ in contemporary India.

Modi’s post on X praised the movement’s ability to inject new vigor into the independence struggle, while Birla’s remarks honored both well‑known and unknown martyrs who faced imprisonment and sacrifice. Nadda underscored the moral framework—truth, ahimsa, equality and national pride—that the movement championed.

Collectively, the leaders called on citizens to uphold these values, strengthen democratic institutions and keep the spirit of self‑less service alive for future generations.
