Shah honored the bravery of those who worked to overthrow the rule of the Nizam and the Razakars to unite the region with India. He and other leaders, such as Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya, paid tribute to the martyrs and highlighted the role of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in facilitating the merger of Hyderabad into the Indian Union.

In Secunderabad, Vice President Radhakrishnan described the conclusion of the integration via ‘Operation Polo’ as a decisive chapter in history.
