On Goa Liberation Day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended his best wishes to the people of the state, acknowledging the sacrifices of patriots in integrating Goa into India in 1961. He highlighted the lesser-known fact that Indians required permission to visit the region prior to liberation.

The minister also paid homage to freedom fighters of the Kakori Train Action, including Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Roshan Singh, who invigorated the Indian freedom movement and challenged British authority.
