Paying tribute on the death anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi on Saturday (Martyr’s Day), Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reflected, ‘humble tribute to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, who has shown the path of truth and non-violence to the world on his death anniversary.’ He wrote Mahatma’s teachings and ideals take us closer to the concept of ‘Ramrajya’ and pave the way for the creation of ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat’.

He paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 73rd death anniversary today at the Gandhi Statue in Hazratganj in Lucknow. He garlanded the statue of Mahatma Gandhi and later attended a 'bhajan' recitation event at the site where school children sang 'bhajans' associated with Mahatma Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by Nathuram Godse on 30 January 1948. His death anniversary is celebrated as Martyr’s Day.

On this occasion, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav said that, on the death anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, he received a lot of praise. Gandhiji’s ideas and experiments of truth and non-violence are still giving strength in the peasant movement. The greatest strength in this struggle is the belief that truth prevails over the untruth and that the upholder ultimately supports the truth.

"A humble tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary, showing the world the path of truth and non-violence," tweeted CM Yogi.
