India has lodged a strong protest with Pakistan over recent offensive remarks made about Bhagat Singh. This was confirmed by India’s Minister of State for External Affairs (MEA), Kirti Vardhan Singh, during a session in Parliament.
In addition to the protest, India has raised concerns with Pakistan regarding attacks on cultural heritage, growing intolerance, and the lack of respect for minority communities in the neighboring country.
Singh emphasized that the government and the entire nation recognize Bhagat Singh’s invaluable contribution to India’s freedom struggle. His death anniversary is observed annually both in India and internationally, with events held to honor his legacy.
The Indian government has been consistently highlighting the importance of Bhagat Singh’s role in history, with diplomatic missions abroad also conducting tribute events in his honor.
When asked about the derogatory remarks made about Bhagat Singh in submissions to the Lahore High Court, Singh confirmed that the government was aware of the situation and had taken appropriate steps.
