Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday urged the Centre to confer the Bharat Ratna - India's highest civilian award - on Bhagat Singh, Kartar Singh Sarabha and other legendary martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for the country's freedom. Addressing a state-level function to mark the martyrdom day of Kartar Singh Sarabha at his native village, the CM said martyrs like Bhagat Singh, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Rajguru, Sukhdev and Lala Lajpat Rai deserved this award because they had made the supreme sacrifice for emancipating the country from foreign clutches.
