Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Odisha on August 8 and attend a function marking 75th anniversary of Odia daily 바카라Prajatantra바카라, founded by noted freedom fighter and former chief minister Harekrushna Mahatab, central minister Dharmendra Pradhan said.
Pradhan, during the day, presided over a meeting at Cuttack, which was held to review the preparations being made ahead of Shah바카라s visit. He also visited Indoor Stadium, where the programme is scheduled to be held, to take stock of the arrangements.
바카라Prajatantra바카라s 75th anniversary coincides with the country바카라s 75th year of Independence. This year, a daughter of Odisha has become the President of India. Shah바카라s visit to Odisha at this juncture is significant,바카라 the Union education minister said.
Lok Sabha MP Bhartruhari Mahatab, who had been sidelined by the BJD over differences with the party leadership, is the present editor of the daily. Pradhan, who is on a two-day visit to the state, paid homage to revolutionary leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at his birth place Janakinath Bhavan in Cuttack.
바카라Janakinath Bhawan, Netaji바카라s birth place, which has now been converted into a museum, is nothing less than a pilgrimage site. I am fortunate to have visited this sacred place again today to pay homage to a great son of India, a national hero and an epitome of courage and sacrifice,바카라 Pradhan said.
Netaji will always be revered for his inspiring leadership skills, nationalism and clear goals for India바카라s independence, he stated. Earlier in the day, Pradhan took part in 'Tiranga Padyatra' in Dhenkanal as part of the 바카라Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav바카라 celebrations.
