What is Bengal’s wedding day?

Martyrs’ Day is celebrated across the country on 23 March. On this day the British hanged Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru a day before the scheduled time. Martyrs’ Day celebrated in Bengal today is different from this. 

Trinamool Congress observes ‘Martyr’s Day’ every year on July 21 in memory of 13 people killed in police firing at a Youth Congress rally in Kolkata in 1993. In fact, in the year 1993, Mamta Banerjee was in command of the Youth Congress. She marched towards the secretariat demanding that only voter ID card should be considered as a document for voting. During this march, an attempt was made by the administration to stop them. 

Mamta Banerjee’s workers were moving towards the secretariat even after the rigorous efforts of the police. To stop this mob of workers, the police finally opened fire. In this firing, 13 workers were killed and many were injured. Since this accident, Mamta Banerjee celebrates 21 July every year as Martyr’s Day.
