Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Indian cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Shikhar Dhawan paid heartfelt tributes to the freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Shivaram Rajguru on the occasion of Martyrs' Day (Shaheed Diwas), remembering their courage and sacrifice.

In 2026, leaders such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid homage to the martyrs, ensuring their legacy endures.

Gambhir took to X to honour the revolutionary icon, highlighting his unwavering resolve. “Even death couldn’t force him to compromise! That’s Sardar Bhagat Singh! #Icon,” he wrote, underlining the enduring legacy of one of India’s most revered freedom fighters.
