Assam CM Sarma pays tribute to 1947 Partition victims
Long ago, in 1947, a big country called India was split into two new countries.
This event is called the Partition.
Lots of people had to leave their homes, and many people were hurt or lost their lives.
It was a very sad and difficult time.
Every year, India remembers this on a special day called Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
The Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, asked everyone to never forget what happened.
He said we should remember the people who suffered and work hard to make sure something so sad never happens again.
He also asked everyone to stay united, protect the country, and learn lessons from the past.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma paid tribute to the victims of the 1947 Partition on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
Sarma said the nation must never forget the scars of the 'forced partition' which the Muslim League inflicted on India.
He called for a pledge to ensure such tragedies are never repeated.
The 1947 Partition resulted in one of the largest mass migrations in modern history, displacing millions amid widespread communal violence.
Sarma urged national unity and vigilance, saying the sacrifices of those who lost their lives should remain part of the nation's collective memory.
