The award was presented to Chief Minister Sonowal by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Speaker of People’s Majlis of Maldives Mohamed Nasheed, which carries a citation, a specially designed trophy and a cheque worth Rs. 1 lakh.

In an official communique, Chief Minister Sonowal said that the award is an inspiration to work for national integration and to take Dr. SP Mukherjee’s vision and philosophy forward. He also dedicated the award to the people of Assam, who have been the source of inspiration and guidance during his public life.

 

Sonowal said that Dr. SP Mukherjee was a true son of mother India, a true nationalist and patriot. His principles and thoughts were beyond any personal ambition. He always thought for India, lived for India and finally died for India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah’s historic step to strengthen national integration by abrogating Article 370 and 35(A) of the Constitution, Chief Minister Sonowal said that this has completed the incomplete work of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to unify the country. Further, this monumental initiative has not only fulfilled the dream of Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee of ‘ek nishan ek pradhan ek samvidhan’ but also registered a resounding statement towards realizing the vision of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’, CM Sonowal observed.

Stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the first PM of the nation who discovered the potential and possibilities of the North East, Chief Minister Sonowal said that since taking over charge he has made sincere efforts to expedite growth in the region. He said that during last seven decades of India’s independence, the region was subjected to neglect and oppression by the Congress which ruled at the Centre and the north eastern States for most of these years.

Chief Minister Sonowal also lauded the PM for glorifying Assamese culture during the recent visit of US President Donald Trump wherein Bihu was performed. He also said PM Modi gave distinct identity to Assamese Gamosa and also honoured legendary singer Dr. Bhupen Hazarika by bestowing the highest civilian honour Bharat Ratna upon him.

The guest’s list included Former Union Minister and Rajyasabha MP Suresh Prabhu, Board of Governors of India Foundation Shaurya Doval, Ram Madhav and several other dignitaries.
