Union home minister Amit Shah said there were attempts to push Netaji into oblivion but his valour shined over everything. He was speaking at the event held on Monday to name 21 unnamed Andaman and Nicobar islands. Amit Shah said, “All the decisions taken under the strong leadership of PM Modi certainly acknowledge and appreciate the connect, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have with the Independence Movement of India.” He further said, “Today, this initiative of PM Modi, under which 21 big islands of Andaman-Nicobar Islands have been associated with names of our Paramveer Chakra winners & effort to perpetuate their memory as long as this earth lasts, will increase the enthusiasm of the Army.”
