The sacrifices of revolutionaries during freedom fight will be narrated to the Bhopalites. A Hindi play Ashfaqullah Khan will be staged at the Shaheed Bhavan auditorium on Tuesday to pay a tribute to him on his death anniversary. It is to be noted that Ashfaqullah Khan was one of the revolutionaries who fought fearlessly with the British along with Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad.
The play is directed by Prem Gupta whose final rehearsals have been completed. Notably, the play will be staged under the Deshraag series organised by Directorate of Swaraj Sansthan, Government of MadhyaPradesh. More than 20 artists will be acting in the play on the revolutionary activities of Ashfaullah Khan and his colleagues Ramprasad Bismil, Roshan Singh and Rajendranath lahiri.
Various aspects of heroism of Ashfaullah Khan and his fellow revolutionaries will be seen in the drama. Actor and director of the drama Prem Gupta said that even before the performances of Ashfaullah Khan, there have been performances, but in the presentation of this time, they have made attempts to incorporate some events and incidents in a new way.
When Ashfaqullah Khan was hanged on December 19, 1927, he wore new clothes, spread perfume on them and received martyrdom for the freedom of India.The purpose of preparing drama on such great revolutionaries is to pay tribute to them in the right sense.
