Amit Shah lauds Sardar Patel’s role in uniting India on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas

Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the nation on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, paying tribute to the legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He recalled Patel’s decisive actions after independence that brought hundreds of princely states into the Indian Union, describing him as the ‘Iron Man’ of Indian integration.
Shah emphasized that Patel’s vision of a united country remains a guiding principle for today’s leaders and citizens. He urged political parties, community groups, and the public to emulate Patel’s commitment to national cohesion and to reject any forces that threaten unity.
The remarks were part of a series of events marking Patel’s birth anniversary, underscoring his enduring influence on India’s federal structure and democratic fabric.
