Amit Shah Tweeted, “Revered Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee taught from his life that nothing is greater than national interest. Be it Kashmir or Bengal, we will always be indebted to Dr. Mukherjee for his immense contribution towards the unity and integrity of the country. He paved the way for India’s progress by laying the foundation of the first industrial policy. Dr. Mukherjee’s dedication to the nation and foresight will always guide us. Millions of salutes to such a great son of the country on his birth anniversary.” Mukherjee, who was born in 1901 in what was then Calcutta (now Kolkata), served as India’s first Minister of Commerce and Industry after independence. He had started a widespread campaign to oppose Article 370 of the Constitution, which grants Jammu and Kashmir special status. Regarding Kashmir, he had also issued the challenge, “Do not work in one country, two leaders, and two symbols.” The majority of the provisions of Article 370 were repealed by the Modi government when it won the centre for a second time in a row.
