Gandhi helped bring out people’s inner strength: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that Mahatma Gandhi helped bring out the inner strength of people and inspired them with his philosophy, even among those who had never met him.
Modi made the remarks on Tuesday while hosting the “Leadership Matters: Relevance of Mahatma Gandhi in the Contemporary World” event at the UN headquarters here to commemorate Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary.
In his address, Modi stressed on the contributions of the ‘Father of the Nation’ to the cause of greater human freedom in the 20th century; emphasis on the welfare of all (Sarvodaya); championing of the downtrodden (Antyodaya), and prescient concern for environmental sustainability.
