On this occasion, the Governor of Sikkim, Shri Om Prakash Mathur; Rajasthan Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma; Minister of State for Agriculture, Government of India, Shri Bhagirath Choudhary, and other dignitaries were present.
Paying tribute to Lieutenant General Sagat Singh, Shri Birla said that his life is an inspiring example of courage, leadership, and service to the nation. From his valour in the Indian Army during World War II to hoisting the national flag during the Goa Liberation Movement, his contributions were remarkable. His bold decisions at the Nathu La border strengthened the country’s frontiers, and his role in the surrender of the Pakistani Army in Dhaka during the 1971 war was crucial, paving the way for the creation of Bangladesh, Shri Birla noted.

He added that the statue is not just a memorial but a source of inspiration for future generations, encouraging youth to serve the country.

His life teaches that with courage, determination, and dedication, any goal can be achieved. He urged the youth to draw inspiration from such great heroes and actively contribute to nation-building.
