Bhagwant Mann announced holiday March 23 Martyrs day. On March 22, in the first session of the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha Punjab’s chief minister, Bhagwant Mann announced on March 23, that there will be a holiday on the martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev across Punjab. Earlier, it used to be a holiday in Nawanshahr only however Mann said that Bhagat Singh does not just belong to Nawanshahr but to the whole of India. 

Purpose of the holiday on March 23

Mann urged parents, teachers, and students of schools and colleges, to visit Hussainiwala or Khatkar Kalan and read something about their lives. 

Raja Warring vs Bhagwant Mann

Raja Warring opposed Mann’s decision of holiday because according to him it will be better to let people know about martyrs instead of a holiday. Mann asked Warring about Bhagat Singh’s birthday which he did not able to answer. 

Bhagat Singh’s will be celebrated in a newer way

Bhagwant Mann said that although his government announced a holiday on Martyrdom Day however every year on September 28, plays and programs will be organized which will let people know about Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh’s life.
