The Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh on Tuesday termed “Jammu and Kashmir as the crown of India” and said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had played the biggest role in ensuring the accession of J&K to mainland India.
“Jammu and Kashmir is the crown of India and this is the message we are giving by participating in the Run for Unity in the state,” Singh told reporters in Srinagar after flagging off the ‘Run for Unity’ on the 142nd birth anniversary of the first deputy prime minister of India.
“Sardar Patel has biggest role in ensuring accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India as well as forcing out raiders from territory and ensuring peace here,” Singh said.
