Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to Assam’s celebrated warrior Lachit Borphukan on his 400th birth anniversary, and said the leader epitomised unparalleled courage. The Prime Minister graced the closing ceremony of the 400th birth anniversary celebration of great Ahom general Lachit Barphukan in New Delhi on Friday.
The Prime Minister greeted the nation on the occasion of Lachit Diwas on Thursday. In a message, the Prime Minister said, this Lachit Diwas is special because it marks the 400th birth anniversary of the great Ahom general Lachit Barphukan. He said Lachit Barphukan epitomised unparalleled courage, adding that he placed the well-being of people above everything else.
Lachit Barphukan was a famous General of the Royal Army of the Ahom Kingdom of Assam, who defeated the Mughals and successfully halted the ever- expanding ambitions of the Mughals under Aurangzeb. Lachit Barphukan inspired the Assamese soldiers in the Battle of Saraighat fought in 1671, and delivered a crushing and humiliating defeat to the Mughals.
The Assam government organized three-daylong events in the national capital to let people know more on the valor and patriotism of Lachit Barphukan. An exhibition and panel discussions have also been organized to mark the occasion.
