Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday paid tribute to RSS ideologue Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya on his death anniversary. Taking to Twitter, Shah called Pandit Upadhaya a 'legend'. The tweet in Hindi roughly translates to: "Pandit Deendayal Upadhaya was a legend who worked to give the country an ideology, whose main purpose is not to gain power but to re-establish the nation as the world's guru. Panditji has given the country a unified human philosophy in which the interests of everyone, from a person to society are contained."
पं. दीन दयाल उपाध्याय जी ऐसे युगद्रष्टा थे जिन्होंने देश को एक ऐसी विचारधारा देने का काम किया जिसका मूल उदेश्य सत्ता प्राप्ति नहीं बल्कि राष्ट्र को पुनः विश्व गुरु के पद पर आसीन करना हो। पंडित जी ने देश को एकात्म मानव दर्शन दिया जिसमें व्यक्ति से समष्टि तक सभी के हित समाहित हैं। pic.twitter.com/S8ODz9QpCF

Saluting the RSS ideologue in another tweet, he wrote, "Panditji believed that unless we bring development to the poorest of the poor in the country, by connecting them to mainstream development, country's freedom does not make sense. I salute such great thinkers."
पंडित जी का मानना था कि जब तक हम समाज के गरीब-से-गरीब व्यक्ति तक विकास नहीं पहुंचाते, उन्हें विकास की मुख्यधारा से जोड़कर देश की प्रगति में सहभागी नहीं बनाते तब तक देश की स्वतंत्रता का कोई अर्थ नहीं है।
