Assam
chief
minister
Himanta
Biswa
Sarma
also
recalled
the
sufferings
of
people
during
the
partition
as
hundreds
of
thousands
were
displaced
after
the
creation
of
Pakistan.

“One
of
the
darkest
moments
in
Indian
history,
Partition
wreaked
havoc
upon
millions
of
countrymen
&
dealt
mighty
blow
to
Akhand
Bharat.
On
#PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay,
I
recall
the
sufferings
of
people
resulting
from
evil
machinations
of
British
Raj
&
newly-formed
Pakistan,”
he
said
in
a
tweet.

To
bring
out
the
suffering
of
millions
of
people
during
India’s
partition
to
the
fore,
the
whole
country
is
observing
Remembrance
Day
of
Horrors
of
Partition
on
14th
August,
2022.
PM
Modi
in
his
last
Independence
Day
Speech
had
announced
to
observe
“Partition
Horrors
Remembrance
Day”.

Partition
Horrors
Remembrance
Day
has
been
envisaged
to
bring
to
light
the
agony,
suffering
and
pain
of
millions
of
people
who
were
displaced
during
partition.
It
is
reminder
to
the
country,
that
its
independence
was
preceded
by
the
largest
displacement
of
human
population
in
the
last
century.
The
partition
also
claimed
the
lives
of
a
large
number
of
people.
