Last year in August, Modi had virtually inaugurated the Jallianwala Bagh memorial complex in Amritsar and said that it is every country’s right to protect its history.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also paid tributes to the victims. Tweeting in Ounjabi he wrote: In the history of India, Jallianwala Bagh is such a bloody massacre that even today our hair stands on end. We will never forget the sacrifices made by our great martyrs. All our lives we will be indebted to these martyrs who gave us this freedom. Long live the revolution!”
