Contribution to the Freedom Movement:

Bhagat Singh was very upset with Gandhiji’s withdrawal of the non-cooperation movement. But he had great respect for Gandhi. Instead of Gandhiji’s non-violent movement, he did not consider it unreasonable to adopt the path of violent revolution for the independence of the country. He started participating in processions and became a member of many revolutionary parties. The main revolutionaries of the party were Chandrashekhar Azad, Sukhdev, Rajguru, etc.

In December 1929, Bhagat Singh, along with his partner Batukeshwar Dutt, detonated a bomb in the assembly hall of the British government, which was the only sound, which was thrown in the empty space. Due to which on August 26, 1930, the court convicted Bhagat Singh under sections 129, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 4 and 6F of the Explosive Substances Act and 120 of the IPC. On 23 March 1931, Bhagat Singh and his two companions Sukhdev and Rajguru were hanged at around 7.33 pm.
