It is eave a scar - a glaring reminder of the hurt - that simply doesn’t fade away. It has been 100 years since the lynchpin of colonial brutality was enacted but the wounds simply refuse to heal. Now, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu will pay homage to martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh massacre on the centenary of the gruesome incident at the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial, in Amritsar, Punjab tomorrow.
