Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki today said that Mahatma Gandhi embodied the spirit of India through his message of universal brotherhood due to which his birth anniversary is celebrated as International Day of Non-Violence.
He said after offering floral tributes here to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri, on the occasion of their birth anniversaries.
Paying rich tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, Solanki said the Father of the Nation dedicated his life towards achieving an ideal society.
The government also envisions a radical transformation of the country by his 150th birth anniversary in 2019 and every citizen should contribute to making this dream a reality, he added.
Describing Lal Bahadur Shastri as a visionary leader, the Governor said the former Prime Minister through his slogan of 'Jai Jawaan, Jai Kisaan', motivated not only the soldiers but also the youth to contribute to nation-building.
The slogan is especially relevant today as the world's largest young population is residing in India, he added.
