The Indian embassy said in a tweet that the programme began with Gandhiji’s popular bhajan ‘Vaishnava Jana”. Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 is also marked as the International Day of Non-Violence on account of the non-violent strategy adopted by Gandhi to help India secure independence from the British colonial rule in 1947.
