"In 1942, the Quit India Movement was started against the British rule with the invaluable mantra of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, 'Do or Die', which gave new enthusiasm to the freedom struggle," said Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.

In a post on X, he said, under the leadership of the Indian National Congress, countless Indians took to the streets in the Quit India movement and wrote the saga of this unforgettable history.
