The students sang patriotic songs and recited poems highlighting his revolutionary life. The students read out excerpts from his inspirational life and raised slogans for guarding the motherland.
‘Dushman Ki Goliyan Ka Samna Karenge’
Azad hee rahe hain , azad hee rahenge
was the call of Chandra Shekhar Azad. He chose to sacrifice his life and live up to his resolve that he would never be arrested and would die a ‘free man’. He fired at his own temple and laid his life for the nation . In the end the students took a pledge to lead their life with same conviction and determination as Chandra Shekhar Azad.
