Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid homage to Late Shri Pyarelal Ji Khandelwal on his death anniversary.
Chouhan garlanded his portrait in the auditorium at his residence office. Late Khandelwal was born on 6th April, 1929 in village Charmandli, District Sehore. He distributed secret pamphlets published by Praja Mandal, a group of revolutionaries and patriots in Indore and extended his strong leadership to the student movement in Maheshwari Vidyalaya Indore.
Despite being punished with severe torture and cane for chanting Vande Mataram, shri Pyarelal Ji continuously remained devoted to the worship of 'Bharat Mata'. After the country became independent, Khandelwal also had an important contribution in giving direction to the politics of independent India.
He passed away on October 6, 2009.
