"Shaheed Sukhdev, a paradigm of tremendous courage, patriotism and sacrifice. I bow and offer my tribute on his Birth anniversary," Shah posted.

Meanwhile, the Congress party also paid tribute to the freedom fighter via Twitter.

"We pay tribute to freedom fighter Sukhdev on his birth anniversary," it tweeted.
