New Delhi, Oct 28 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday dedicated his 'Mann Ki Baat' to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and urged the youths of the country to participate in the 'Run For Unity'.

Oct 31st is the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

On the occasion, the youth of the country is all set to take part in the ‘Run for Unity’.

During his 49th address through 'Mann Ki Baat', Modi  said: "The weather too these days is pleasant. I urge you to participate in the largest possible numbers in this run for unity."

Recalling Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's contribution, Modi said: "Six months or so before Independence, on the 27th of January, 1947, the world – famous international Magazine ‘Time’ had a photograph of Sardar Patel on the cover page of that edition."

"In their lead story, they had depicted a map of India; it was nowhere close to what the map looks like now. It was the map of an India that was divided into myriad fragments. The magazine further observed that amidst that plethora of problems, if there was anyone who possessed the capability to unite the country and heal wounds, it was SardarVallabhbhai Patel," said he.
