Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday bowed down to Shaheed Udham Singh on his 75th martyrdom day.

"The valour of Shaheed Udham Singh remains etched in the memory of every Indian. I bow to this brave son of India on his martyrdom day," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.

Shaheed Udham Singh had sacrificed his life to avenge the barbaric British massacre of Jallianwala Bagh at Amritsar.
