CM Yogi emphasized Pant’s unwavering commitment to Mahatma Gandhi’s vision, citing his active participation in various movements for India’s liberation. Additionally, he underscored Pant’s crucial role as the nation’s Home Minister, stepping into the position after the untimely demise of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Pant’s tenure as Home Minister, CM Yogi noted, was marked by his dedication to advancing Hindi as the official language, a milestone achievement in India’s linguistic landscape. This commitment to national unity and linguistic diversity earned Pant the esteemed Bharat Ratna award in 1957, alongside his significant contributions as a member of the Constituent Assembly of India.
In closing, CM Yogi expressed profound gratitude on behalf of the state for Pant’s enduring service to both Uttar Pradesh and the nation, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire generations to come.
