Om Prakash Rajbhar has carved his path of struggle by upholding the values instilled by his parents, he said.

However, the mindset of slavery caused this glorious chapter of history to fade into obscurity. Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar has revived this forgotten legacy, bringing it back into the public consciousness.

He stated that the Maharaja Suheldev memorial now stands tall as a symbol of India's victory and a powerful challenge to foreign aggressors.

It also serves as a reminder and a warning to those who still harbour intentions to divide or betray the nation, the UP government said in a statement.
