The Prime Minister also paid tribute to former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on his birth anniversary, recognizing his contributions to India’s soldiers, farmers, and national pride.

Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, is celebrated annually on October 2 to honor the “Father of the Nation,” born in Porbandar, Gujarat, in 1869. Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent resistance was central to India’s freedom struggle against British colonial rule, leading to the country’s independence in 1947. His principles of non-violence (Ahimsa) and Satyagraha continue to resonate across the world, as October 2 is also observed as the International Day of Non-Violence.
