A BJP MP today urged the government to build a martyrs' gate in the national capital in the honour of freedom fighters who laid down their lives between 1857 and 1947.
Sharad Tripathi, the Lok Sabha MP from Sant Kabir Nagar, said a list containing the names of such freedom fighters should be released by the government as currently, there no such authentic record.
While the names of Indian soldiers who fought the second World War were inscribed by the British on the India Gate, there is no such commemoration for the Indians who died for the country's freedom from 1857 to 1947, the lawmaker told reporters.
"A martyrs' gate in their memory should be erected in Delhi with their names inscribed on it," Tripathi said.
