Itanagar, Oct 31: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K. T. Parnaik (Retd.), led the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day) celebration at Raj Bhavan, Itanagar, on Friday.

The Governor, along with officers and staff of Raj Bhavan, offered floral tributes to Sardar Patel, paying homage to his enduring legacy of unity, integrity, and nation-building.
In his address, the Governor remembered Bharat Ratna Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel that his life is a timeless reminder that perseverance, integrity, and dedication can bring about transformative change. He said Sardar Patel’s unwavering sense of duty and his fearless leadership should inspire today’s youth to lead with ethics, courage, and clarity, especially in a world where moral values are constantly tested.
The Governor recalled that it was through Sardar Patel’s vision and firm resolve that Major Bob Ralengnao Khathing successfully integrated Tawang and Arunachal Pradesh into the Indian Union, thereby strengthening the nation’s frontiers and unity.
