PM Modi replaces Mahatma Gandhi’s iconic picture In Khadi Udyog’s Calendar

Date:

Mahatma Gandhi‘s iconic picture was replaced by a picture of Narendra Modi weaving khadi on a charkha in 2017 wall calendar and table diary published by Khadi Village Industries Commission.

The cover image shows him wearing a kurta-pyjama-waist coat, wearing khadi on a modern charkha. Modi was the “biggest brand ambassador” and had been “popularising Khadi” in his own style, some KVIC officials were unhappy with the development.

PM Modi mentioned that PM’s photo was included last year also, however after the protest by the staff so the plan was taken back. He also expressed grief that Mahatma Gandhi was completely left out from the calendar and diary.

He told “This year it’s a total washout. The pictures and teaching of Gandhiji – who created khadi for the poor masses and made it a symbol of the ‘swadeshi’ self-reliance during the struggle for Independence – are completely left out in the calendar and diary.”
