Lucknow,

22 Jan (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid tributes to Thakur

Roshan Singh, an Indian revolutionary freedom warrior on his birth anniversary.

He was honoured for his gallantry throughout the independence movement. Despite

not actively participating in the train heist, he joined the Hindustan

Republican Association (HRA) and was executed in the Kakori Conspiracy Case. He

was hanged alongside Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Lahiri in 1927 for

revolutionary actions against British authority, and he is renowned for his

patriotism, wrestling talents, and sacrifice for India's independence. A

respected martyr whose life exemplifies sacrifice and patriotism, motivating

thousands to strive for India's independence.

In

his post on X, he mentioned, “Thakur Roshan Singh, an immortal warrior of the

freedom struggle, shook the foundations of British rule through the Kakori

Train Action, awakening the spirit of nation first in the hearts of

revolutionaries. Such a great national leader will always remain alive in our

hearts. Today, on his birth anniversary, we pay our humble tribute to him.”
