ITANAGAR, Oct 30: Governor BD Mishra and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have extended warm greetings to the people of the State on the occasion of Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day), which commemorates the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India, Patel played the most important role in the integration of many Indian princely states to make an Indian federation.
In his message, the Governor said that in remembrance of Sardar Patel, the best tribute, for us, every Indian today, is to work tirelessly to keep, India together and to crush the nefarious fissiparous and divisive forces raising their ugly head in the country.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu appealed the people to take part in the nationwide 'Run for Unity' marathon race organised on Rashtriya Ekta Diwas.
He said celebration of Ekta Diwas annually helps the youth of the country to be aware of and provides an opportunity to everyone to maintain the integral strength of the nation. It makes Indian citizens to realize how national integrity helps in defeating the actual and potential threats for unity, integrity and security of the nation. 
“Let us pay our tribute to the Iron Man of India who worked hard to make India a United India (Ek Bharat),” CM said.
