NEW DELHI, August 14 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid tribute to those affected by the Partition of India on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, recalling the immense suffering, displacement and loss of lives caused by the historic event.
In a series of posts on X, Modi said Partition shattered countless lives, separated families and caused the loss of loved ones. He, however, highlighted the resilience of those who rebuilt their lives from scratch despite the hardships they faced.
The Prime Minister said the journeys of Partition survivors and their families demonstrated the power of human resilience and their contributions played an important role in the nation's progress.
“On the occasion of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, I pay tribute to all those who emerged from that harrowing era and made invaluable contributions to the nation's progress,” Modi said.
Today we mark #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. We recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. It was a moment in history that tore apart several lives…families were uprooted, loved ones were lost and immense suffering was endured.
