The All India Forward Bloc, a political party formed by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose himself, today celebrated his birth anniversary as 'Desh Prem Divas' across West Bengal.
"For the last few years we are celebrating Netaji's birthday on January 23 as Desh Prem Diwas across the state. Today also we had a programme at our party headquarters and then several rallies were organised at various parts of state to mark his birth anniversary," senior Forward Bloc leader Naren Chatterjee said.
Meanwhile, apart from the AIFB programmes, West Bengal today observed Netaji's birth anniversary at functions across the state, by paying glowing tributes to his memory.
Holding portraits of Netaji and singing patriotic songs, people in large numbers took part in morning processions in different parts of the state.
Floral tributes were paid to the freedom fighter during a function at his ancestral residence in Kodalia in South 24-Parganas district.
People from all walks of life visited Netaji Bhawan in the city since early morning to pay homage.
