Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his message on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), urged the nation to “live up to the ideals of Bapu”.
PM Modi tweeted on Sunday, “Paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi on Gandhi Jayanti. This Gandhi Jayanti is even more special because India is marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.

THE DIARY
Long before he became the PM, a page of Modi’s handwritten diary from the 1980s, bears a quote of Mahatma Gandhi.
It states: “The only real, dignified, human doctrine is the greatest good of all.”

Modi paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat.
Gandhi was a forerunner of non-violence and truth. For the Indian liberation struggle, he founded the Satyagraha and Ahimsa movement. As the Father of the Nation, he spearheaded India’s independence struggle alongside many other national leaders in opposition to British rule in India.
The day is observed to spread the message of non-violence through public awareness and education. It is commemorated with the hope of building a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence.
