As a child of parents who suffered during India’s #Partition1947, I am extremely grateful to PM @narendramodi Ji for declaring August 14 as #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. This will forever be a reminder of the human misery caused by wrong policies of the then Govt.
My father escaped murderous mobs by the skin of his teeth when he took the last Frontier Mail to India with nothing but the clothes he was wearing.
Both my parents then suffered & struggled for years. I grew up listening to their experiences.

The declaration of #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay when we celebrate #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav is a homage to the struggles & sacrifices of my parents, grandparents & millions of others like them.
Partition should serve as a lesson that we must not repeat the mistakes of the past & take India on path of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ & not on that of appeasement, particularly when volatility in our neighbourhood only seems to have escalated more than ever before.
