Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday paid floral tributes to a portrait of Amar Shaheed Gaind Singh on his martyrdom day.
Recalling the incomparable contribution of Gaind Singh, Baghel said he raised his voice against the slavery and exploitation of the British long before the first war of Independence in 1857.
Zamindar Gaind Singh, who fought for the rights of the Abujhmadia brothers and sisters of Bastar, was hanged in front of the palace of Paralkot on January 20, 1825.
The Chief Minister said the whole country, including Chhattisgarh, bows down to the brave son. His sacrifice will be remembered for ages.
