The President said, the values of Mahatma Gandhi are very relevant for all ages. He taught us that the purpose of our actions should be to strengthen the prestige and destiny of others. Gandhiji's views are also very relevant in the current era of issues like peace and tolerance, terrorism and climate change.
The President said that after a few weeks on 2nd October, we will celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation. Gandhiji was born in India but is concerned with the whole of humanity.

The President said that for me he is an experimental Gandhi beyond the boundaries of class and race. Mahatma Gandhi gave a message of fighting terror by explaining the meaning of freedom and also taught the lesson of peace. Bapu's message is reflected in the policies, political thinking, public functioning of the Government of India.
Most of the violence and insurgency that is taking place all over the world today is based on prejudice. They force us to see the world, we are people versus those people. Mahatma Gandhi's message is far more relevant today.
