Country must know sacrifice of our heroes, says Min Dharmendra Pradhan
KUDOPALI: Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday paid glowing tributes to freedom fighters of Sambalpur and said the country must know the sacrifices of heroes like Udanth Sai and Chhabila Sai who have been neglected in the pages of history.
During the tribute meeting and Tiranga padayatra organised in memory of Veer Chhabila Sai and 57 others who attained martyrdom while fighting the British at Kudopali ghat on this day in 1857, the union minister said Sambalpur is a land of struggle and sacrifice and the historic Kudopali is a symbol of its sacrifice and heroism.
“We are not working to change history but to make history bigger. This country should know the sacrifices of heroes like Udanth Sai, Chhabila Sai who have been neglected in the pages of history,” he said.
