Union Home Minister and BJP President Amit Shah tweeted in Hindi, "For Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjeeji, only nation was supreme, that is why he sacrificed power and everything else for the unity and integrity of the country. Mookerjee was the person who launched the first nationalist movement. He was against one country, two legislations, two emblems and two Consitutions."
"With the aim of rebuilding India, Dr. Mookerjee founded the Jan Sangh. Today, if we can go to Jammu and Kashmir without a permit and West Bengal is an integral part of India, it is all due to Mookerjee's sacrifice. I bow at the feet of such a patriot on his martyrdom day," the BJP chief wrote.

His immense contribution to our country will always be remembered.
Mookerjee died as a detainee in Jammu and Kashmir on June 23, 1953, after arrested at Lakhenpur on May 11 while trying to enter into the state illegally to protest against a law that prohibited entry of Indian citizens there without a permit.
