Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged the nation to organise a 'Run for Unity' marathon, on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, to strengthen the efforts to unite the country.

The Prime Minister while addressing the nation through his 48th episode of the monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' said that the 'Run for Unity' is a very good initiative to remember Sardar Patel as throughout his life he worked for the unity of the country.
