Union Minister Hussain pays tribute to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad on his birth anniversary

Union Minister Shahnawaz Hussain on Monday paid tributes

to freedom fighter and India’s first education minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad

on his birth anniversary.

The tributes were paid by Hussain and Firoz Bakht, who is

the grandnephew of Azad at his Mazar (grave) near Jama Masjid.

“Azad’s message is relevant and important these days. Our

country was divided on August 14, 1947, and it got united two days ago. The way people

accepted the Supreme Court verdict in Ayodhya case and also behaved

responsibly, the soul of Azad would be happy for sure,” Hussain told.

Azad’s birth anniversary is celebrated as National

Education Day every year on November 11 in the country.
