Speaking virtually, the PM hailed the Gujarati spirit of enterprise and said it was a matter of pride for him that “Gujarat has always taken a lead in the tasks of social development”.

Quoting Sardar Patel, PM Modi said: “Caste and creed should not be allowed to hinder the task of national development. We are all sons and daughters of India. We should all love our country and make our destiny with mutual affection and cooperation.”

Talking of Vallabh Vidyanagar in Anand, the PM said this place was developed so that education could be spread and village development accelerated. Recalling his time as the Gujarat CM the PM said a person like him with no base in politics was blessed by people to serve the state in 2001. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
