A ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas Pledge’ taking ceremony was held today at the Haryana Civil Secretariat here today. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was the chief guest on the occasion.

During the event, Saini paid floral tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his 150th birth anniversary, honouring his legacy as India’s first Home Minister and the Iron Man of the nation. He also administered the oath of ‘rashtriya ekta’ to the officers and the employees.

Earlier, addressing the officers and employees during the ceremony, he urged the civil servants to commit themselves to the values of unity and service. He encouraged all to work tirelessly to meet the needs and aspirations of the people of Haryana.

The Chief Minister said that Patel was a leader with extraordinary administrative skills. “His pivotal role in India’s Independence struggle and his unparalleled work to unify the nation post-Independence will always be remembered,” said Saini. He shared that upon Independence, India was divided into 562 princely states and it was Patel’s leadership that brought them together under one nation, forming what is now known as ‘akhand Bharat’.

The Chief Minister lauded PM’s decision to abrogate Article 370 and 35-A, thereby fully integrating J&K into India.
