Speaking on the occasion, Progressive thinker, Admar Sripati Acharya, advised the youths to build India as dreamt by Bhagat Singh, who lost his life, fighting for India’s liberation. “Freedom fighter and revolutionary leader, Bhagat Singh had rich dreams about building India. However, successive rulers have ruined his dreams. Therefore, we should pledge to build a country in tune with Bhagat Singh’s dreams,” he added. Bhagat Singh dreamt of a country that enjoyed real freedom, but India just had a change of power in 1947. This is the time we need another Bhagat Singh. It is our duty to realise the dream of that great revolutionary”, he added.

"Bhagat Singh was neither a communalist, not did he propagate religious conversions. He was a pure patriot with a strong belief in secular principles. He wanted to build a society that is free from poverty and hunger. But, about 70% of the people of the country earn a pittance, which is grossly insufficient to run their families. Although four Indians have risen to be among the richest persons in the world, poor people continue to be so. Therefore, we should pledge to realize the dreams of Bhagat Singh, who lost his life fighting against the British rulers,” he advised.
DYFI District President Muneer Katipalla said that whatever problems India faced 80 years ago still exist. “The colonial forces are still strong, but in a different form”,He warned that imperialist forces have been planning to take the country into their control. “People are being driven to streets in the name of privatization and globalization. In Dakshina Kannada district, people are losing access to water, education, health and land because of the special economic zone,” he added
SFI District President Prashanth Achar, Secretary Jeevanraj Puttar, City President Imtiaz, DYFI District Convenor Dayanand Shetty and others were present on the occasion. A procession of hundreds of people wearing the masks of Bhagat Singh, was taken out from the clock Tower circle, before the programme.
