Modi extolled Ahimsa’s potency: ‘Ahimsa paramo dharmah tatha ahimsa param tapah. Ahimsa paramam satyam—from it flows dharma.’ This unarmed strength, he affirmed, alters destinies globally.
Piyush Goyal chimed in: ‘Profound respects to Mahatma Gandhi. Truth, non-violence, harmony—ideals steering global humanity, perpetuating inspiration for service, devotion, moral fortitude.’
