Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said that National Defence Academy (NDA) is the best place for installing the statue of great warrior, Bajirao Peshwa.
Shah was speaking to a gathering after unveiling the statue of Thorle Bajirao Peshwa within the NDA premises. “Peshwa was entrusted with the title by Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj at the age of just nineteen. He transformed Swarajya into an empire,” Shah said.
“Bajirao Peshwa fought 41 wars in his 20-year tenure and won all of them. I don’t think any other warrior has such a history”, Shah said.
The war strategy of the great Bajirao Peshwa is timeless, he said. “If we study it and decide our strategy, no one will look at India with an evil eye”, said Union Home Minister.
He said Punyanagari (Pune) is the land of heroes. “Lokmanya Tilak gave the first call to fight against the British for freedom from Pune. Veer Savarkar showed how much a single person can do for the country,” he added.
