State omits Mahatma’s name from circular on Martyrs’ Day

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The state has rolled out detailed instructions to revive the practice of observing January 30 as Martyrs’ Day, yet conspicuously absent is any mention of Mahatma Gandhi, the very leader in whose honour the day was established. State omits Mahatma’s name from circular on Martyrs’ Day The state’s order was issued following a Public Interest Litigation filed before the Bombay High Court, urging the court to instruct the Maharashtra government to restart the old practice, where sirens were sounded and two minutes’ silence was observed on this day. The PIL was filed in 2023, a year after a circular was issued by the Union ministry of home affairs, directing all state governments and Union territories to observe Martyrs’ Day. “It is bizarre that the government is asking us to observe Gandhiji’s martyrs’ day without mentioning Gandhiji’s name,” Mithiborwala remarked.
