The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid tributes to the victims of the Partition of India on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, remembering their courage and resilience. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and BJP president JP Nadda also posted messages on X, recalling the human suffering of 1947. Shah called the Partition one of the most brutal chapters in history and explicitly held the Congress responsible for the division, saying the scar 'will never be forgotten'. The ministers highlighted the courage of those who rebuilt their lives after losing homes and loved ones.
The Indian Opinion
The remembrance of Partition is necessary, but the narrative around it is already being weaponised. Home Minister Amit Shah directly blamed the Congress for the division, ignoring the complex role of the British, the Muslim League, and communal violence that no single party can own. This day should unite, not settle political scores. The real test is whether future commemorations acknowledge all actors involved or keep reducing history to a partisan accusatory tool.
