New Delhi, Aug 14 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today recalled the upheaval and pain endured by countless people during partition in 1947 and said it is day to honour their grit, their ability to face unimaginable loss and still find the strength to start afresh.
Remembering the day as ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ the Prime Minister said the day is a reminder of ‘’our enduring responsibility to strengthen the bonds of harmony that hold our country together.’’
