Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi, today extended his warm greetings to everyone on the occasion of the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
He said that former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.” In today’s era, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan.” He further said that Mahatma Gandhi’s message of non-violence is particularly important today.
Violence has increased across the world, and in such circumstances, Gandhiji’s message of non-violence and brotherhood becomes even more relevant.
He said that even after so many years, Mahatma Gandhi remains loved by people across the world because his message will always remain relevant to humanity. He prayed that Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of Ram Rajya may be established not only in Hindustan but across the entire world.
