“श्री राम सुतार जी यांच्या निधनाने मन अत्यंत दुःखी झाले आहे, त्यांच्या अद्वितीय शिल्पांच्या माध्यमातून भारताला काही प्रतिष्ठीत मानचिन्हे लाभली, त्यात केवाडिया येथील स्टॅच्यू ऑफ युनिटी हे प्रतीकात्मक शिल्प विशेष उल्लेखनीय आहे. त्यांच्या कलाकृती भारताच्या इतिहास, संस्कृती आणि सामूहिक चेतनेचे प्रभावी दर्शन घडवतात. राष्ट्राभिमानाला त्यांनी शाश्वत रूप देत पुढील पिढ्यांसाठी एक अमूल्य वारसा निर्माण केला आहे. त्यांच्या कलाकृती कलाकार आणि नागरिकांना सदैव प्रेरणा देत राहतील. त्यांचे कुटुंब, चाहते आणि त्यांच्या महान जीवनकार्याचा प्रभाव असलेल्या सर्वांप्रति मी माझ्या संवेदना व्यक्त करतो. ॐ शांती.”
