Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday suggested building a "virtual museum" near the Statue of Unity in Gujarat in the memory of the erstwhile royals, who had "sacrificed" their princely states for the unity of India under Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
While unveiling the 182-metre-tall statue of the country's first home minister here in Narmada district of Gujarat, Modi said, "A virtual museum should be constructed near the statue to honour the sacrifice of the former rulers of over 550 princely states that were annexed to India."
