"This step is a clear proof of the wisdom, foresightedness, dynamism and courage of our Prime Minister," he said adding the nation will remember Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for all times to come.
The debt of our forefathers, leaders and common man who had lost their lives fighting for this cause had been repaid today, he added.-IANS
