*BJP Will Fulfil Every Sankalp and Guarantee Before Seeking Votes in Haryana in 2029: Union Home Minister*

*Amit Shah Inaugurates Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak in Ambala, Pays Tribute to Heroes of First War of Independence*

*22-Acre Shaheed Smarak Features 23 Galleries, Modern Exhibits and 2,500-Seat Open-Air Theatre*

*Union Home Minister Also Inaugurates Rs 1,260 Crore Jalbera–Shahabad Section of NH-152G*

Chandigarh, November 5 – Union Home and Cooperation Minister Sh. Amit Shah on Thursday praised Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini for his ability to get things done swiftly despite his soft-spoken demeanour, and asserted that the BJP would seek votes in the state in 2029 only after fulfilling all its Sankalps and guarantees. ‘Bolte dheere hain, lekin kaam tez karte hain’, Sh. Amit Shah remarked while addressing the inauguration ceremony of Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak in Ambala. Describing Sh. Nayab Singh Saini as a Chief Minister who delivers results quickly, the Union Home Minister said, the BJP would return to the people of Haryana in 2029 having honoured all its Sankalps.

On this occasion, Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, Union Minister Sh. Manohar Lal, Cabinet Minister Sh. Anil Vij, BJP Prabhari (Haryana) Smt. Smriti Irani, and BJP State President Dr. Archana Gupta were also present.

Paying tribute to the heroes of India's First War of Independence, the Union Home Minister said Ambala held a special place in the country's freedom struggle. It was here, on May 10, 1857, that revolutionaries sounded the call against British rule, sparking an uprising that swept across the country and shook the foundations of the British Empire. The uprising had stunned the world by challenging an empire on which the sun was said never to set, he said, paying homage to Ambala's historic soil.

*1857 Was a War of Independence, Not a Revolt: Amit Shah*

The Union Home Minister criticised historians influenced by British colonial thinking and Left-wing ideology for describing the events of 1857 as a revolt rather than a struggle for freedom. Referring to Veer Savarkar's interpretation, he said the term 'revolt' reflected the British perspective, while for Indians the uprising was a war of independence.

Sh. Amit Shah said the 90-year struggle from 1857 to 1947 had been marked by the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters. Their sacrifices had laid the foundation for India's aspiration to become a developed nation under Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi.

Recalling the extraordinary courage of Babu Kunwar Singh, he said the freedom fighter had confronted British forces at the age of 87. When a bullet struck his left arm, he severed the injured arm with his right hand and continued the struggle, ultimately making the supreme sacrifice. His courage, he said, reflected the extraordinary spirit of sacrifice that defined India's freedom struggle.

The Union Home Minister said a nation that failed to recognise the price of its freedom and honour those who had sacrificed their lives for it could never achieve lasting progress. The stories of the martyrs, he said, deserved to be preserved in golden letters in the country's history. He expressed confidence that Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak would become a major centre of patriotic inspiration for young people across India.

Sh. Amit Shah appreciated the efforts of former Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal, Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini and Cabinet Minister Sh. Anil Vij in bringing the project to completion.

*22-Acre Shaheed Smarak Brings the History of 1857 to Life*

The Union Home Minister said the Shaheed Smarak, spread across 22 acres, featured 23 galleries chronicling the events and sacrifices of the 1857 uprising. The complex uses holography, interactive projections and historical exhibits to recreate key episodes of the freedom struggle. It also showcases Haryana's traditional arts and crafts, including Phulkari and Sarkanda craftsmanship. A 2,500-seat open-air theatre and a light-and-sound show offer visitors an immersive experience of the historic uprising.

Sh. Amit Shah urged youth from across the country to visit the Shaheed Smarak, learn about the sacrifices that secured India's freedom and pay tribute to the martyrs.

*Haryana's Legacy of Valour and Contribution to Nation-Building*

Referring to Haryana's historical and cultural heritage, Sh. Amit Shah recalled its association with the ancient Saraswati River, the composition of the Vedas and Lord Shri Krishna's message of the Bhagavad Gita. He also highlighted Maharaja Agrasen's contribution to Indian administrative thought and the role of Raja Nahar Singh and Rao Tula Ram in the freedom struggle.

The state's tradition of valour continued through its contribution to the armed forces, he said, asserting that Haryana accounted for the highest number of soldiers serving the country. He also praised Haryana's achievements in sports, saying its athletes consistently made a leading contribution to India's medal tally.

Haryana's farmers had played a vital role in strengthening India's food security by filling the nation's granaries when the country was striving for self-sufficiency. The state had also made a significant contribution to the White Revolution, he added.

On the occasion, the Union Home Minister also inaugurated the Jalbera–Shahabad section of National Highway 152G, constructed at a cost of Rs 1,260 crore.

*Haryana Has Undergone Major Transformation in 12 Years: Amit Shah*

Referring to Haryana's completion of 60 years, Sh. Amit Shah said the people of the state had placed their trust in Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and the BJP for 12 of those years. He credited former Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal and Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini with bringing about major changes in governance and development during this period. Highlighting the state's achievements, he said Haryana had become the first smoke-free state, with cooking gas cylinders reaching every household.

He also cited the procurement of all crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP), Haryana becoming the first state to implement the three new criminal laws, the introduction of India's first hydrogen-powered train and the development of an elevated railway track among its pioneering initiatives.

Sh. Amit Shah said the BJP government had ended what he described as the transfer industry through an online transfer policy, bringing transparency to administrative postings. Other major initiatives included 50 percent representation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions, Lal Dora-free villages and the introduction of the Parivar Pehchan Patra system. He said Haryana is the only state where villages were now free from Lal Dora restrictions.

*Amit Shah Takes Dig at Rahul Gandhi Over MSP Guarantee in Punjab*

Turning to Punjab, Sh. Amit Shah took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the demand for a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price, saying farmers continued to raise the issue during his visits to the state as part of the campaign against drug abuse. In a sarcastic remark, he said Rahul Gandhi had handed farmers a ‘jhunjhuna’ (a rattle) to keep them occupied, rather than an MSP guarantee.

The Union Home Minister said that if a BJP-NDA government is formed in Punjab, farmers would no longer have to carry placards demanding an MSP guarantee. He added that Haryana had also intensified its efforts against drug abuse and is determined to make the state drug-free.

Vidhan Sabha Speaker Sh. Harvinder Kalyan, Cabinet Ministers Sh. Krishan Lal Panwar, Sh. Mahipal Dhanda, Sh. Vipul Goel, Dr. Arvind Sharma, Sh. Shyam Singh Rana, Sh. Ranbir Gangwa, Sh. Krishan Bedi, Smt. Shruti Choudhry, Ms. Aarti Rao, Minister of State Sh. Gaurav Gautam, and Deputy Speaker Dr. Krishan Middha, along with Members of Parliament, Members of the Legislative Assembly, and senior officers, were also present on this occasion.

Amit Shah, by dedicating the Shaheed Smarak to the nation, had paid a fitting tribute to the brave revolutionaries who sacrificed everything for India's freedom. He said the Shaheed Smarak would not only preserve the history of the 1857 uprising and the indomitable courage of its heroes but also strengthen the spirit of patriotism, sacrifice and love for the nation among future generations.

The Chief Minister said a new chapter of history, valour and national pride had been written on the soil of Ambala. It is a matter of immense pride that this chapter had been written through the hands of the Union Home and Cooperation Minister.

By inaugurating Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak, Sh. Amit Shah had paid homage on behalf of the entire nation to the great martyrs who sacrificed everything to free Mother India from the shackles of colonial rule. He said those brave freedom fighters had sacrificed their present so that future generations could build a better tomorrow in an independent India.

*1857 Uprising Began in Ambala Nine Hours Before Meerut- CM*

Referring to Ambala's historical significance, the Chief Minister said the beginning of the 1857 uprising had begun in Ambala nine hours earlier then Meerut. He said the struggle that began in Ambala eventually united the country and awakened a powerful spirit of nationalism and patriotism, which became the foundation of the wider freedom movement.

Expressing confidence that Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak would become a sacred centre of patriotism, the Chief Minister said it would be far more than a structure of bricks and stones. Every young person who visits the Shaheed Smarak will feel the courage and sacrifice of our freedom fighters and return with a renewed resolve to serve the nation, he said.

The Chief Minister said that Shaheed Smarak would remind future generations that India's freedom is not inherited but earned through the sacrifices of its brave heroes.

*Amit Shah's Leadership Reflects Resolve of Sardar Patel- Chief Minister*

The Chief Minister described Union Home Minister Sh. Amit Shah's life as an inspiring example of national service, organisational commitment, exceptional efficiency and determination. He said Sh. Amit Shah's journey, which began with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad during his student years, had taken him to the highest levels of organisational leadership through hard work and dedication. As BJP National President, Sh. Amit Shah expanded the party's organisational reach across the country, and the BJP had become the world's largest political party, the Chief Minister said.

He said unwavering commitment to goals, courage in decision-making and sustained efforts to achieve results were hallmarks of Sh. Amit Shah's leadership. Drawing a parallel with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Chief Minister said Sh. Amit Shah embodied the same spirit of determination and resolve. Under his leadership, India's glorious heritage, culture and history were regaining their rightful prominence.

He said several decisions once considered impossible for decades had become reality during the tenure of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and Sh. Amit Shah as Union Home Minister. Who could have imagined that Articles 370 and 35A would be abrogated? Today, they were part of history. Who could have imagined that the resolve of 'One Constitution, One Flag and One Head' in Jammu and Kashmir would be realised? Today, it is a reality, he said.

Similarly, who could have imagined that the Citizenship Amendment Act would be implemented? Or that three new criminal laws rooted in the Indian approach to justice would replace the British-era criminal laws? Today, these decisions have become reality, and a new criminal justice system is in place in the country, said Sh. Nayab Singh Saini.

The Chief Minister said Sh. Amit Shah had given fresh direction to the vision of Sahkar Se Samriddhi through the Ministry of Cooperation. He credited the Union Home Minister's leadership with strengthening internal security, securing the country's borders and achieving decisive success against challenges such as Left-Wing Extremism.

*Haryana's 60-Year Journey Reflects Transformation from Struggle to Prosperity*

The Chief Minister said Sh. Amit Shah shared a special bond with Haryana, where the people had given the BJP government a third consecutive mandate under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi. He said the double-engine governments at the Centre and in Haryana, under the guidance of the Union Home Minister, were advancing development, good governance, security and the welfare of the poor.

Referring to Haryana's Diamond Jubilee celebrations held four days earlier, the Chief Minister said the state had undergone a remarkable transformation over the past six decades. From struggle to prosperity, from potential to achievement, and from an agriculture-dominated state to a modern industrial and economic powerhouse, Haryana has come a long way, he said. He said good governance, transparency and Antyodaya had accelerated this transformation, particularly over the past 12 years.

*76 of 217 Sankalps fulfilled, Work on Remaining 141 in Progress*

The Chief Minister said the BJP government had fulfilled 76 of the 217 Sankalps promised in its Sankalp Patra during the last Assembly elections in just two years, while work on the remaining 141 is progressing with full dedication. We do not merely make promises, we fulfil them, he said.

Highlighting Haryana's pioneering initiatives, the Chief Minister said the state had consistently taken the lead in introducing reforms and welfare measures. Wherever a new path is created, Haryana is the first to take a step forward, he said.

The Chief Minister said Haryana is the first state to implement the three new criminal laws and the only state in the country to procure all crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP). He said Haryana is also the first state to provide ex gratia assistance of Rs 1 crore for martyred soldiers and Agniveers.

The Chief Minister further added that the state provided the country's highest monthly pension of Rs 40,000 to freedom fighters. Haryana had also pioneered initiatives such as Lal Dora-free villages, the Parivar Pehchan Patra and paperless property registration, he said.

The Chief Minister said the Haryana Government stood firmly with daughters at every step. He said the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign had helped raise the state's sex ratio above 900, while girls were receiving free education up to the postgraduate level. He said 2.92 lakh women had become Lakhpati Didis, cooking gas cylinders were being provided at Rs 500, and more than 10 lakh women were receiving Rs 2,100 every month under the Lado Lakshmi Yojana.

*Haryana Sets Sights on $1 Trillion Economy, 50 Lakh New Jobs Under Vision 2047*

The Chief Minister said Haryana is working at a rapid pace to implement its Vision 2047, which had been unveiled by Union Home Minister Sh. Amit Shah. The state aimed to become a $1 trillion economy and create 50 lakh new employment opportunities, he said.

The Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 and the new MSME Policy 2026 were key components of the roadmap to achieve these goals.

The Chief Minister said the same land that had witnessed the sacrifices of India's First War of Independence is now at the forefront of realising Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

*Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak to Preserve the Legacy of 1857 Revolutionaries and Inspire Future Generations with Their Valour and Patriotism*

Chandigarh, November 5 – The valour, sacrifice and indomitable spirit of the revolutionaries who fought India’s First War of Independence in 1857 have found an enduring tribute in Ambala. Union Home and Cooperation Minister Sh. Amit Shah on Thursday dedicated Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak to the nation, marking a significant occasion in preserving the legacy of the freedom fighters whose courage and patriotism helped shape India’s struggle for independence.

By keeping their inspiring legacy alive, Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak will acquaint future generations with the spirit of patriotism and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of India's freedom.

Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, Union Minister of Power Sh. Manohar Lal, and Haryana Transport Minister and Ambala MLA Sh. Anil Vij were also present on the occasion.

The inauguration began with a message of environmental responsibility as Union Home and Cooperation Minister Sh. Amit Shah and Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini planted saplings on the premises under the *Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam* campaign, highlighting the importance of environmental conservation. The dignitaries subsequently lit the ceremonial lamp to formally commence the inaugural programme.

The Union Home Minister viewed an introductory virtual reality film showcasing the museum and its exhibits. He also explored the telegram exhibition depicting the beginning of the 1857 uprising in Ambala and its spread across Haryana.

A puppet show portraying the uprising in Haryana offered another engaging glimpse into the historic struggle, bringing the events and spirit of the revolutionary movement to life.

The dignitaries also paid tributes to the brave revolutionaries of 1857, honouring their courage, sacrifice and unwavering dedication to the nation.

*Azadi ki Pehli Ladai (1857) ka Shaheed Smarak*

The First War of Independence in 1857 was far more than a military revolt. It was a powerful and widespread call for freedom that shook the very foundations of British rule in India. In this historic struggle, legendary figures such as Rao Tula Ram, Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmibai, Nana Saheb and Tatya Tope emerged as prominent leaders, displaying extraordinary courage and giving direction and momentum to the struggle for independence. Amidst the flames of this great revolution brave heroes of Haryana also emerged, whose stories continue to inspire generations.

This First War of Independence instilled a deep sense of nationalism and patriotism in the Indian psyche, which later became the foundation of the entire freedom movement. To preserve the memory of this extraordinary courage and sacrifice, the ‘Azadi ki Pehli Ladai ka Shaheed Smarak’ is being created as a lasting tribute to those who gave everything for the cause of freedom.

This museum is India's largest upcoming museum on the freedom struggle, developed not merely as a building complex, but as a site of national pilgrimage. The entire complex of this memorial is spread over a vast expanse of 22 acres, where every brick and every wall is steeped in the spirit of patriotism. The main museum, situated at the center of this complex, is divided into three floors, within which 22 unique galleries have been constructed in a highly meticulous and well-researched manner. This museum does not merely serve dry historical information to its visitors; rather, through a confluence of architecture, art, and cutting-edge technology, it completely resurrects the past. With welcoming facilities like ticketing, orientation room, and an attractive lotus canopy, this place draws visitors directly into the turbulent era of 1857.

The museum’s galleries unfold as a chronological and immersive journey through the events of 1857. The experience begins with the Orientation and Parichay galleries, guiding the visitors about their upcoming journey and introducing them about the history of Haryana. Visitors then enter the Arrival of the British gallery, which explores how foreign powers gradually disrupted the foundations of India. Through the evocative use of traditional Phulkari craft of Haryana, the gallery contrasts this period of change with glimpses of India’s earlier cultural and economic prosperity.

The journey continues into the Causes of the Revolution gallery, which examines the growing discontent that spread across different sections of society. Through intricate metal-craft artwork and a lifelike holographic multimedia presentation, visitors encounter the story of the greased cartridges, the immediate spark that intensified the growing unrest and helped ignite the revolution.

The revolution was not an overnight event; it was backed by deep and subtle strategy. This becomes very evident in the Planning of the Revolution gallery. It is showcased here how the revolutionaries decided to use the severe heat of North India as a natural weapon against the British, selecting May 10 as the day for the uprising. The gallery uses Haryana’s traditional Sarkanda craft to invite visitors to decode the secret and silent symbols of the revolution, like methods of communication used to spread the message and prepare people for the struggle. These included peeling tree bark to convey the cruelty of British rule, distributing chapatis to signal villages to prepare for the coming revolution, and exchanging lotus flowers to rally the support of sepoys in the cantonments. The journey then moves to Ambala – A Strategic Location, where the geographical and strategic significance of the Ambala Cantonment is brought to life through an engaging kinetic table projection.

The following Events at Ambala gallery presents authentic historical documentation of the growing unrest in the region. Even before the formal outbreak of the revolution, secret acts of arson and mounting resistance against British rule had intensified across Ambala during the months of March and April 1857. Then the journey moves on to the Outbreak at Ambala gallery recreates a British Telegraph Office, featuring the historic telegram that bears witness to the fact that Ambala rose up against the British on the morning of 10th May 1857, 9 hours before the outbreak at Meerut on the same day. An interactive Morse code experience brings the telegraph communication technology of the time to life.

In the War at Ambala gallery, traditional wood carving art immortalizes the first historic struggle initiated by the 60th and 5th Native Infantry in Ambala on May 10. The entire story of this important event is told with an immersive projection show in the gallery. This revolution soon engulfed the entire region. The Outbreak at Haryana, Revolution in Haryana, and Battles of Haryana galleries use Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and interactive projections to vividly depict how fierce and difficult battles were fought against the British in the villages and cities of Haryana. A puppet show accompanied by a poetic presentation also presents the local stories of the struggle from that era very touchingly. The Revolutionaries gallery pays a heartfelt tribute to farmers, kings, soldiers and many other sections of Haryana. The Outbreak at India gallery uses AR technology to show how the spark ignited in Ambala spread across different parts of India.

The struggle for freedom took many forms. The Tools of Freedom gallery explores how folklore, newspapers, symbols, and social gatherings, alongside swords and guns, became powerful instruments of resistance. This gallery also features a special sand installation dedicated to the martyrs of 1857, created from the soil of the sacred revolution sites across the country where the blood of our heroes was shed.

Following this, a 360-degree immersive projection takes visitors across India, portraying the vast expanse of the revolution. It reveals how people across the country, from farmers and leaders to women and children, came together and participated in the struggle for freedom. Then the War in India gallery brings life size models of different hot spots of the revolution like Meerut jail, Kashmere gate, Bareilly jail, Bithoor Ghat, and Jhansi fort.

The Tunnel gallery offers a dark and immersive experience, bringing to life the harsh conditions of colonial-era prisons and the daring attempts of revolutionaries to escape. Set in near darkness and illuminated only by torchlight, the gallery recreates the atmosphere of these historic prison experiences.

The British Atrocities gallery portrays the brutality and repression inflicted under British rule, bringing visitors face to face with the suffering endured during the struggle for freedom. This detailed narrative concludes with a sense of introspection and respect. The Sacrifice gallery captures a profound sense of loss, centred around a silent tree that stands as a witness to the countless hangings and sacrifices of those who gave their lives for freedom.

The Aftermath gallery examines how the events of 1857 shaped the course of India’s subsequent struggle for complete independence.

Finally, visitors arrive at the Tribute gallery - the emotional culmination of the journey. Here, visitors take a solemn pledge, pay homage to the countless known and unknown martyrs, and carry forward the eternal symbols of the freedom struggle: the tree and the flame in their hearts.

The journey through the 22 galleries is complemented by a range of monuments and visitor facilities across the complex. A 63-metre-high Memorial Tower stands as a prominent landmark, where visitors can offer digital tributes to the immortal revolutionaries of the freedom struggle. A high-speed lift takes visitors to the 13th floor, where an immersive projection experience awaits. As visitors descend along the ramp, digital and static panels offer further glimpses into the history of the era. A small café and souvenir shop on the ground floor add to the visitor amenities.

At its heart is a state-of-the-art Open-Air Theatre, accommodating approximately 2,500 spectators. Each evening, it hosts a spectacular presentation featuring two large water screens, projection mapping across the museum walls, and a dramatic light and sound show projected onto the Memorial Tower, bringing the story of 1857 vividly to life under the open sky.

The complex also provides modern visitor amenities, including an air-conditioned 300-seat auditorium, a library for researchers and history enthusiasts, a food court, double-basement parking for approximately 600 cars, and a helipad.

Ultimately, Azadi ki Pehli Ladai ka Shaheed Smarak is more than a museum - it is a living tribute to the spirit of the historic struggle of 1857 that brought people across India together in a shared quest for freedom. From north to south and east to west, the uprising united communities, towns, and individuals in a powerful call for independence. The Smarak preserves this legacy and reminds present and future generations that the freedom we cherish today was shaped by the extraordinary courage, struggles and sacrifices of countless revolutionaries who dedicated their lives to the cause of freedom and paved the way for our tomorrow.
