New Delhi (NVI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid tributes to ‘Lok Nayak’ Jayaprakash Narayan on his 118th birth anniversary and remembered his contribution to the fight for India’s freedom.
“I bow to Loknayak JP on his Jayanti. He valiantly fought for India’s freedom and when our democratic ethos was under attack, he led a strong mass movement to protect it. For him, there was nothing above national interest and people’s welfare,” PM Modi said in a series of tweets.
