New Delhi, 7th Dec: On Armed Forces Flag Day, the Sainik Welfare and Resettlement Department, Gujarat State, along with the Rajya Sainik Board, honoured Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah by pinning the Armed Forces Flag on him during a ceremony in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
In a message shared on X, Shah said he was heartened by the gesture, thanking the organisations for presenting him with a miniature flag.
