Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah addressed the Uttarakhand State Foundation Day celebrations in Dehradun today. On this occasion, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, along with several other distinguished dignitaries, was also present.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that today is a day to remember and express gratitude to our revered late leader, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. For many years, the people of this region had been struggling for the creation of a separate state of Uttarakhand, but governments led by opposition parties did not allow the state to be formed. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee fulfilled this long-standing demand by establishing Uttarakhand on 9 November 2000.
