Paying homage to Bapu on Gandhi Jayanti, President Kovind wrote: “The Mahatma’s life was his message. Gandhiji sacrificed his life for the upliftment of the downtrodden, and the empowerment of Indians. Gandhiji himself never claimed to be a great soul — indeed, he went out of his way to tell the world about his vulnerabilities. Yet, he is the best example of realising the maximum human potential.”

Political leaders pay tributes
Rahul Gandhi: “I won’t fear anyone in the world. I won’t bow down before any injustice. I will win over lies with the truth by my side… and may I bear all the sufferings protesting against falsehood. Wishing a happy Gandhi Jayanti.”
‘मैं दुनिया में किसी से नहीं डरूंगा… मैं किसी के अन्याय के समक्ष झुकूं नहीं, मैं असत्य को सत्य से जीतूं और असत्य का विरोध करते हुए मैं सभी कष्टों को सह सकूं।’
गाँधी जयंती की शुभकामनाएँ।#GandhiJayanti
