President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his 156th birthday anniversary and urged all citizens to resolve to realise his dream by building a cleaner, more capable, fully empowered, and prosperous India.
In a message, she asked everyone to dedicate themselves to the ideals and values of the Father of the Nation. “Gandhiji has given the message of peace, tolerance, and truth, which is an inspiration for the entire humanity,” the President said.
She added, “He dedicated his life to eradicating untouchability, illiteracy, addiction, and other social evils. With unwavering determination, he provided strength and support to the weaker sections of society.”
On Gandhi Jayanti, Murmu called upon everyone to renew their commitment: “Let us again resolve to follow the path of truth and non-violence, remain committed to the welfare and progress of the nation, and realise Gandhiji’s dream by building a cleaner, more capable, fully empowered, and prosperous India.”
Highlighting Gandhiji’s lifelong values, she said, “Throughout his life, Gandhiji upheld an unwavering belief in morality and ethics, inspiring people to follow that path.” She further noted his emphasis on self-reliance through the Charkha, aiming to build a self-reliant, self-sufficient, and educated India.
“Gandhiji always promoted the dignity of labour through his conduct and teachings. His life values remain relevant even today and will continue to guide us in the future,” the President emphasized.
On behalf of all citizens, Murmu paid tribute to the Father of the Nation on his birth anniversary, observed on Thursday.
