Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (Sep 28) during the 126th episode of his monthly radio show 'Mann ki Baat' paid tribute to Indian revolutionary freedom fighter Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Speaking on the occasion of Bhagat Singh's 118th birth anniversary, the Indian PM recalled Singh's letter to the Britishers demanding prisoner-of-war-like treatment. "Amar Shaheed Bhagat Singh is an inspiration for every Indian, especially the youth. Fearlessness was deeply ingrained in his nature," said Modi.

Paying respect to Bhagat Singh, Modi noted that "Before being hanged, he had written a letter to the British requesting a prisoner of war-like treatment from the British and that he and his associates be shot to death, rather than being hanged. He was very sensitive towards people's sufferings".
