“On behalf of all citizens, I pay my humble tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on his 156th
birth anniversary.
This is an occasion to dedicate ourselves to the ideals and values of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma
Gandhi.
Gandhiji has given the message of peace, tolerance, and truth, which is an inspiration for the entire humanity.
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.
Throughout his life, he upheld an unwavering belief in morality and ethics, inspiring the people to follow that
path. He gave the message of self-reliance through the Charkha, aiming to build a self-reliant, self-sufficient,
and educated India. He 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.
On this auspicious occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, 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 Gandhi ji’s dream by
building a cleaner, more capable, fully empowered, and prosperous India”.
