Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid tribute to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh founder Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar on his death anniversary today. In a social media post, Mr Shah remembered Dr. Hedgewar for establishing the Sangh and spreading the ethos of Nation First and cultural nationalism among the people.
