Sardar Patel was not rendered his due place in history, says Amit Shah
The Statesman
|December 09, 2024
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that Sardar Patel had played an outstanding role in the making of India and the unification of princely states.
However, Sardar did not get due justice for his role in history, the Home Minister said after unveiling a huge 11-foot statue of the country's first Home Minister at the Circuit House here.
Shah said, "Sardar did not care for name and fame and focused only on his duty towards the nation. He did not even bother about his failing health and worked tirelessly to achieve his goals."
He said Patel's firm stance and dedicated work paved the way for the merger of 556 erstwhile principalities in the Union of India in the post-independence unification process.
