Several programs will also be organized across the country to mark the birth anniversary of freedom fighter Sadhu TL Vaswani, founder of Sadhu Vaswani Mission. Born on November 15, 1879, in Hyderabad, Sadhu TL Vaswani left the government job after taking higher education and became active in the freedom struggle at an early age.

TL Vaswani tried throughout his life to stop killing animals. They considered all living beings to be the same. He had immense love for the living being. Instead of stopping the killing of animals, he was also ready to cut his head. Not only animals, he was of the opinion that trees and plants also have life. Due to this, the additional chief secretary of urban development issued this government order on the occasion of his birth anniversary on November 25.
