09:
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
on
Tuesday
paid
tributes
to
those
who
participated
in
the
Quit
India
movement
and
said
it
brought
together
people
from
all
sections
of
society.

The
decisive
campaign
against
British
rule
was
launched
this
day
in
1942
on
Mahatma
Gandhi’s
call
at
the
Bombay
session
of
the
Congress
on
August
8
in
his
famous
”do
or
die” speech.

An
alarmed
British
government
arrested
the
top
leadership
of
the
Congress
but
people
embraced
Gandhi’s
call.
