AHMEDABADI: Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest person to have lived in the past millennium, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Sunday, adding that the Centre’s schemes like Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Vocal for Local are the new definitions of Swadeshi movement propagated by Gandhi.
Union home minister Amit Shah unveiled a mural of the Mahatma at the Sabarmati riverfront on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day. “Mahatma Gandhi not just fought for India’s freedom but also offered many ways to rebuild the country after it had achieved freedom,” the home minister said. “He advocated swadeshi, satyagraha, swabhasha, sadhan shuddhi, aparigraha (non-possessiveness), prayer, fasting, and simplicity.”
