139th birth anniversary of Sarda Vallabhbhai Patel,India's first Home Minister Oct 31,2014

 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was at the centre of a massive commemoration today of  the birth anniversary Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Home Minister, who belonged, like Modi, to Gujarat. 

"Without Sardar Patel, even Mahatma Gandhi seems incomplete. It was a unique partnership that strengthened the struggle for independence," the Prime Minister said after he placed flowers on a statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Delhi near parliament.


Dressed in a white kurta pyjama with a red shawl, Mr Modi then walked briskly down one of Delhi's main roads, flagging off a countrywide "Run for Unity" with thousands of participants by his side.
