Following the launch of Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat' mission, Lt Governor Najeeb Jung today performed 'Kar Seva' at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara here.
Jung, accompanied by his wife Ameena, reached the gurudwara in central Delhi this morning and performed 'seva' by polishing shoes of the devotees.
"A clean India was the vision of Mahatma Gandhi and government has done a symbolic gesture by starting the drive today to make it come true. The cleanliness drive in Delhi is a five-year mission and will go on till 2019," Jung said.
"I request the government, municipal bodies, hospitals, and the people to make combined efforts to keep Delhi clean. Let cleanliness become a habit," the Lt governor said.
Describing polishing shoes as a "humbling experience", Jung said he wanted to visit the gurudwara since a long time and this is the reason he chose it to launch the campaign.
Jung was also given a tour of the temple's heritage museum where he interacted with the staff.
"My message to public is that India is a secular country and that I feel very happy coming to this place of worship," he said.
