PM Modi also said, "Just yesterday India has taken an emotional decision, we will henceforth commemorate August 14 as 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' in the memory of the victims of partition. Those who were subjected to inhuman circumstances, suffered torturous treatment, they could not even receive a dignified cremation. They must all remain alive and never get erased from our memories. The decision of celebrating 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' on the 75th Independence Day is a befitting tribute from every Indian to them."
