“Paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his Punyatithi — the eternal beacon of truth, non-violence and selfless service, whose life of sacrifice, Satyagraha and moral courage awakened the spirit of a nation, uplifted the marginalized, fought social discrimination and was dedicated to the service of the weakest sections of society. Let us live Bapu’s ideals and build a Bharat of his dreams—just, compassionate, inclusive and rooted in our spiritual and cultural heritage,” the Lok Bhavan said.
