PM Modi reopened the Jallianwala Bagh monument in August 2021 and tweeted a dramatic film of a light and sound presentation that he stated "will highlight the awful murder of April 1919 and instil a feeling of respect and reverence towards the martyrs." However, historians criticised the renovation for "Disneyfication" of the location, which served as a stinging reminder of the April 13, 1919 slaughter.
