The President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil in her message on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti has said, "We celebrate the Birth Anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October every year. This is an occasion for all of us to rededicate ourselves to deeply understand and internalize Bapuji's message of peace, tolerance, communal harmony and work for national development.
The significance of Gandhiji's philosophy of Non-Violence and peace is relevant today as never before. Whenever, I remember Bapuji, particularly on this day, I am always overwhelmed by his leadership and his values. Gandhiji's leadership inspired millions to unite for the cause of freedom and independence.
On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, let us dedicate ourselves to the ideals and work of this great soul.
