On the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a hologram statue of the freedom fighter at India Gate in New Delhi. The hologram statue is a placeholder until a granite statue is installed at the site. The unveiling ceremony was addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah. "This is a historic location and a historic occasion. Netaji refused to bow before the British. His statue will inspire democratic values and future generations. We have to move ahead by taking inspiration from Netaji's 'can do, will do' spirit," PM Modi said.
