Devvrat said the late ruler’s sacrifice during the Revolt of 1857 would not be forgotten. He said the king had assumed the throne at a young age, deterred the British from occupying Delhi for long and chosen to sacrifice his life for the honour of his country. He was later hanged to death by the British. Devvrat also remembered other freedom fighters and recounted the sacrifices made by them for India’s Independence. BJP MP Hema Malini said the Jat community had always been at the forefront to serve the country.
