On the occasion of Martyrs' Day, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee posted on X to renew the pledge taken to protect every inch of our democracy and motherland, and to confront hatred with unity.

He shared on his post on X, "21st July is not just a date- It's a defiance etched in time. On Shahid Dibas, we remember: Bullets may kill bodies, but not beliefs. The spirit of Bengal cannot be crushed by tyranny. In 1993, 13 brave hearts were martyred - not for power, but for the principle of democracy. Their courage ignited a movement that shaped the destiny of our state and nation. Today, we renew that pledge. To protect every inch of our democracy and motherland. To confront hatred with unity. "

Banerjee added, "To confront hatred with unity. To stand unyielding against those who dream of dismantling our Constitution. To those who dare test Bengal's resolve - Know this: Memory is our Armour. Resistance is our Legacy. We do not retreat. We do not surrender."
