Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes on Thursday to freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru on the anniversary of their martyrdom.

"Remembering Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev on the day of their martyrdom. India will never forget their courage & sacrifice," Modi tweeted.

March 23 marks the death anniversary of freedom fighter trio who were hanged in 1931 at Lahore's Fawara Chowk.
