Rekha Gupta on Monday unveiled a statue of Bhagat Singh and inaugurated a restored “Historic Courtroom” linked to the revolutionary at the Registrar Cooperative Society office on Parliament Street, marking Shaheed Diwas. She was joined by other Delhi ministers, who paid tribute to Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar, honoring their sacrifices for the nation.

Speaking at the event, Gupta described the day as a moment of pride, noting that March 23 serves as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of young freedom fighters who gave their lives for India’s independence. She also emphasized the historical importance of the site, stating that it was where the trial of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev took place after the Assembly bomb incident, adding that the premises still retain much of their original character and should be visited by every Indian.

The Chief Minister also commended Minister Ravindra Indra and officials involved in restoring the site for presenting the legacy of “Shaheed-e-Azam” Bhagat Singh in a renewed form. Reaffirming respect for the martyrs, she said the nation would always remember their sacrifice. Delhi minister Ravinder Indraj Singh highlighted the significance of the location, recalling that it once echoed with the slogan “Inquilab Zindabad” and served as the venue for Bhagat Singh's trial. He noted that the statue would help educate people, especially the youth, about the revolutionary’s life. The initiative was carried out under the leadership of the Chief Minister and PWD Minister Parvesh Verma.

Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru were prominent revolutionaries who were executed by British authorities on March 23, 1931, in Lahore Jail. Their sacrifice is commemorated every year as Shaheed Diwas, in remembrance of their role in the Lahore Conspiracy Case and the killing of British officer John Saunders in 1928.
