**New Delhi, April 13, 2025** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid tribute to the victims of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, commemorating the 106th anniversary of the tragic event.

It was indeed a dark chapter in our nation’s history. Their sacrifice became a major turning point in India’s freedom struggle.”
