Speaking at the event, Battalion's IC (Administration) K Sonny Singh commended the leadership skills of Sardar Patel in leading the country through the struggle for independence and beyond.
"Sardar Patel achieved the incredible feat of persuading almost every single one of the 565 self-governing princely states that had been released from British suzerainty to accede to the Union of India," Sonny said, adding that for his commitment to the national integration of the newly independent country, Sardar Patel earned the sobriquet "Iron Man of India" .
