President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his 156th birthday anniversary, urging all citizens to resolve to realize his dream by building a cleaner, more capable, fully empowered, and prosperous India.
In a heartfelt message, she called upon 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 entire humanity,” the President said.
She highlighted Gandhi’s lifelong commitment to eradicating social evils such as untouchability, illiteracy, and addiction. “With unwavering determination, he provided strength and support to the weaker sections of society,” Murmu added.
On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, she appealed, “Let us again resolve to follow the path of truth and non-violence, remain committed to the welfare and progress of the nation, and realize Gandhiji’s dream by building a cleaner, more capable, fully empowered, and prosperous India.”
President Murmu also emphasized Gandhiji’s steadfast belief in morality and ethics, which continues to inspire people to walk the path of righteousness. She noted his message of self-reliance through the Charkha, aiming to build a self-sufficient, 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 said.
