Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker
“Swami Shraddhanand's leadership during the 1919 Satyagraha in Delhi marked the first spark of the Jallianwala Bagh movement. When the British opened fire on peaceful protesters in Chandni Chowk, he stood at the forefront. Gandhiji himself wrote that ‘the word of Swami Shraddhanand was law in Delhi’.”
