New Delhi, October 30, 2014: National Secretary BJP Kisan Morcha and Prabhari Himachal Pardesh Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has appealed to all the Indians to participate in 'Run for Unity' on October 31 as a tribute to 'Loh Purush' Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel.
Talking with the media persons here today, Grewal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would himself take to the streets to be a part of 'Run for Unity' as celebrations for Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel's birthday. He told that Modi has given a call to the nation to observe the birthday of Patel as 'Rashtriya Ekta Divas' (National Unity Day) and has appealed to take part in 'Run for Unity' on that day.
Grewal said that as per the programme and on the appeals issued by Modi and BJP National President Amit Shah, 'Run for Unity' would be organised by people across the country in around 1,500 cities. Grewal told that all Union Ministers, National office-bearers, senior leaders, Members of Parliament of BJP, State Presidents and other important functionaries of the party would be themselves leading the 'Run for Unity' so as to celebrate it like an 'utsav' as desired by Modi.
He said that the initiative of the Prime Minister will help people realise the crucial role played by 'Loh Purush' Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel in keeping the nation united.
Grewal told that the Prime Minister would also be addressing the nation through a radio address on that day. He blamed India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru for mishandling the Kashmir issue. He said that everyone knows that it was Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel who played a vital role for keeping the nation together.
Grewal said that Congress, for its vested interests and to keep the Nehru and Gandhi family in limelight, it's had been hailing Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru even as he committed blunders.
He appealed to the people to come out in large numbers and participate in Run for Unity in order to foster awareness and recognise the monumental contribution made by 'Loh Purush' Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel in all over the world.
