India to set up Gandhi Heritage Centre in Uganda: PM Modi

Kampala (Uganda), Jul 25 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the Parliament of Uganda, said on Wednesday that a Gandhi Heritage Centre will be built to remind Africa's role in shaping Gandhi's mission. He said, "At the sacred site in Jinja, where a statue of Gandhi ji stands, we'll build a Gandhi Heritage Centre. As we approach 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, there can be no better homage than a Centre to remind us of Africa's role in shaping his mission." "The story of India's own freedom struggle is closely linked to Africa," he added. He is on his five-day, three-nation tour of Africa. He will be visiting South Africa next.
