It was truly an honour pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi with PM @narendramodi, DSG @AminaJMohammed & @NYCMayor ahead of the #YogaDay celebrations @UN.
Mahatma Gandhi’s lifelong devotion to building peace & eliminating poverty represents the very essence of the United Nations.
Always bear in mind that people are not fighting for ideas, for things in anyone’s head.
They are fighting to win material benefits, to live better and in peace, to see their lives go forward.
To guarantee the future of their children.
