New Delhi:
Greeting the nation on the eve of the birth anniversary of
Mahatama Gandhi, President Pratibha Patil Friday asked people to
follow the path of truth and non-violence as preached by the
apostle of peace.
"On the occasion of the Gandhi Jayanti let us take a pledge to
follow the path of truth and non-violence and dedicate ourselves
towards promoting peace, tolerance and harmony and work for the
progress of the nation," she said in a statement issued here.
Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated Oct 2 every year. The Day has also
been declared as
International Day of Non-violence
by the United Nations.
"Gandhiji taught us to stand resolutely against fear, to
understand the importance of truth and to work for the eradication
of poverty, illiteracy and discrimination. He inspired millions to
unite for the cause of freedom and independence," she said.
Noting that Gandhi inspired millions to unite for the cause of
freedom and independence, the president said: "Every year, we
celebrate the Birth Anniversary of the Father of the Nation,
Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October. This is an occasion for all of us
to rededicate ourselves to reflect on the life, work and message
of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi."
