"I salute the courageous Chandra Shekhar Azad, who won the admiration of countless Indians due to his valour, on his birth anniversary," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.

Chandra Shekhar Azad, popularly known as Azad, was a revolutionary, who reorganised the Hindustan Republican Association under the new name of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) after the death of its founder Ram Prasad Bismil.
