Earlier on March 12, the nationwide celebration of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat.
PM Modi had also flagged off the Freedom March or ‘Padyatra’ from Sabarmati Ashram, in Ahmedabad. March 12 also marks the day when Mahatma Gandhi began his famous salt march protest against a new salt tax imposed by the Britishers in 1930.
