Vice President greets people on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.

I extend my heartiest greetings and good wishes on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, the birth anniversary of our Father of Nation.

One of the most influential personalities of modern India, Mahatma Gandhi remains the moral anchor and beacon of hope for the entire humanity in these troubled times. His Satyagraha and non-violent struggle against injustice has inspired millions across the world. Gandhi Ji's abiding faith in Truth and inherent goodness of human being is much needed today

Every generation must rediscover Mahatma Gandhi in its own way. The many dangers facing the world today - from poverty to climate change to wars – can be successfully tackled by appropriately utilizing the principals enunciated by Gandhi Ji. In today's strife torn world, Bapu's sane voice guides humanity that war is not a solution to any problem.

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti let's pray for a peaceful world that is free of violence, extremism, terrorism and all form of discrimination.
