Goa would have become independent earlier if Sardar Patel had lived longer: PM Narendra Modi

Goa Liberation Day is celebrated every year on 19 December, Goa was liberated from Portuguese rule in the year 1961 by the Indian Armed Forces. On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in Panaji to attend the program, praised the freedom fighters who fought for the freedom of Goa. PM Modi said that people from outside Goa also contributed a lot in getting Goa free from the clutches of the Portuguese. PM Modi said that when the struggle for the independence of Goa took place,

So everyone fought together, fought together. This is the identity of India. Here there is only one meaning of the difference of opinion – service to humanity. Service to mankind. Goa Liberation Movement did not stop even after India’s independence The movement to free Goa from foreign tyrants did not stop even after India’s independence. Until the people of Goa got freedom from the oppression of the Portuguese. Appreciating this, PM Modi said that in the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’, the country has called for ‘Sabka Prayas’ from every countryman.

The liberation struggle of Goa is a great example of this mantra. Goa would have been liberated already if Sardar Patel had been there, the issue of delay in the Liberation of Goa on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Goa Liberation Day also arose. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the then Home Minister Sardar Patel had a big role in uniting the various princely states of the country and had he lived for a few more days, Goa would have been liberated from Portuguese rule long ago.

The topmost state in every work is Goa under the leadership of Narendra Modi at the center and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant in Goa, PM Modi has openly appreciated the rapid development of the state and said that Goa’s Natural beauty has always been his hallmark. But now the government here is empowering another identity of Goa. This is the new identity of the state that is the topper in every work.
