On Sunday, PM Narendra Modi laid a wreath at the Martyr’s Column in Port Blair, visited a cellular Jail and hoisted the high mast flag at South Point in memory of the tricolour hosted by INA on December 30, 1943.
The PM also paid a floral tribute at the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at Marina Park and renamed the three islands – Ross Island, Neil Island and Havelock Island as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, Shaheed Dweep and Swaraj Dweep.
His Port Blair visit might have been historic but his latest Instagram picture managed to garner more attention among his followers and other netizens.
