Mahatma Gandhi would have liked Indians to focus on the issue of climate change, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said, stressing that the fight against this global challenge is much larger than just renewable energy and involves a virtual overhaul of the lifestyle.
In his remarks at an event to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi at Library of the US Congress, Jaishankar said, "Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked at an event in United Nations what it would have been like had Mahatma Gandhi been born in a free country."
Stating that US House Speaker Speaker Nancy Pelosi has shown commendable leadership on a similar set of priorities in the US, Jaishankar said, "Your commitment towards clean governance and green development is widely recognised."
