EKTA NAGAR/PATNA: Attacking Congress for “leaving no stone unturned to erase Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s legacy” and ignoring his role in uniting the country after Independence, home minister Amit Shah Thursday said the Modi govt had restored his rightful place in history by erecting the 182-ft ‘Statue of Unity’ at Ekta Nagar and holding an annual parade of all state and central police forces there on his birth anniversary.Marking Sardar Patel’s 150th birth anniversary this year, the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas parade, presided over by PM Modi, has been upgraded to the scale of the Republic Day parade, featuring contingents of state police and central paramilitary forces along with 16 BSF personnel honoured for Operation Sindoor.Also on display will be stunts by BSF’s Indian-bred dogs and motorcycle-borne Assam Police personnel, while tableaux from different states will celebrate ‘Unity in Diversity’. The showstopper will be a cultural extravaganza of 900 dancers performing against the backdrop of Patel’s towering statue, followed by a flypast by IAF’s Suryakiran team. Shah, addressing a presser in Patna, said the parade will henceforth be held every year on October 31.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.

SURI/MIDNAPORE/KOLKATA: The family of a 95-year-old man who died by suicide in his daughter’s Birbhum home on Thursday blamed “SIR fears” for his act, making it the second such case in Bengal in three days. Another man’s suicide attempt in Cooch Behar on Wednesday was also attributed to concerns over citizenship.CM Mamata Banerjee attacked what she termed “BJP’s politics of fear, division and hate” after Midnapore resident Kshitish Majumdar, who migrated from Bangladesh’s Barisal 40 years ago, was allegedly driven to suicide by the fear of “being pushed back or sent to detention camps”. His name was missing from 2002 rolls during the SIR, his daughter said.A man identified as Pradeep Kar (57) ended his life in Panihati on Tuesday. Police commissioner Murlidhar Sharma, who visited the 57-year-old’s home, said the deceased scribbled in a purported suicide note that “NRC is responsible for my death”.In Cooch Behar, Khairul Sheikh’s family claimed he consumed pesticide after brooding over the possibility of his name being struck off the electoral rolls because of a name mismatch between his voter card and Aadhaar. A resident of Jeetpur village in Dinhata, Khairul was hospitalised in a critical condition.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Other Countries Will Also…’: Former US Ambassador Sounds Nuclear Alarm After Trump’s Nuke OrderRJD Leader Shahnawaz Alam On Fight Against Brother Sarfaraz In Jokihat | Battle For Bihar‘Can’t Break The Deal’: Pakistan’s ‘US Drones’ Admission On Border Tensions With AfghanistanDelhi Police Alleges 2020 Riots Were Timed With Trump Visit And Aimed To Spark Pan India Unrest‘Pak Is Infuriated With…’: MEA Slams Pakistan Over Border Tensions With AfghanistanBengaluru Road Rage Horror: Delivery Boy Chased, Crushed To Death By Martial Arts Trainer CoupleHostage Drama At Powai Studio: Mumbai Police Rescues 17 Kidnapped Children, Accused Killed’No Tolerance For Terror Or Its Sponsors’: Cyprus Echoes India’s Stand, Backs PM Modi’s DoctrineIndia’s Iran Gambit Pays Off: US Grants India Sanctions Waiver on Chabahar Port For Six More MonthsIndian-origin Woman Confronts JD Vance On Wife Usha’s Faith And Trump’s Immigration Crackdown123 Photostories  3 most common nutrient deficiencies in Indians and how to overcome them5 hidden forests in and around Delhi that few people know aboutChris Evans welcomes baby girl: How many kids do the original Avengers actors have?Charu Asopa’s former father-in-law visits her Bikaner home for the first time; takes him out for a traditional Rajasthani dinner6 colour-changing animals that will leave you amazedWhy checking SNF percentage in milk packets is extremely important, and what does low SNF mean?Bollywood’s hidden family tree: Surprising celebrity connections you didn’t know aboutFrom small-town creator to owning a Rs 4.5 crore luxurious car: A look at Bigg Boss 19 contestant Mridul Tiwari’s lifestyle, net worth and more5 stunning earrings from Deepika Padukone’s jewellery collection to elevate your wedding look7 unique Indian baby boy names inspired by ‘colors of life’123Hot PicksCyclone MonthaBank Holiday TodayBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingVanessa BryantGiannis AntetokounmpoGolden State Warriors vs Milwaukee BucksLamar JacksonRonda Rousey and Travis Net WorthPatrick MahomesMichael StrahanChet HolmgrenTua TagovailoaConnor McDavid Wife
