Hojai: Kaziranga MP Kamakhya Prasad Tasa on Sunday announced that, in synchronization with the rest of the country, the Hojai District Administration will organize a Unity March on November 6 in Hojai town to inspire the spirit of unity, patriotism, and national duty, particularly among the youth.
Addressing a press conference at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall in Srimanta Sankardev Nagar, Tasa said, “Just as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel unified a fragmented India, we will carry forward that spirit so the youth can embrace the ideals of Ek Bharat and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.”
He added that the march will also serve to raise awareness about the life and legacy of the Iron Man of India, highlighting how Sardar Patel’s visionary leadership united the nation. “Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India, particularly the North East, is witnessing unprecedented progress. His vision of a self-reliant and united India has motivated all sections of society to work collectively for peace and prosperity,” Tasa said, urging residents of Hojai district to participate wholeheartedly in the upcoming Unity March.
