Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversary. He said their lives and values continue to inspire people and guide the nation’s growth.
Dhami described Mahatma Gandhi as a symbol of truth, non-violence, and selfless service, whose teachings remain a beacon for the country.

Walking on the path of truth and non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi ji showed the entire world that with firm resolve and patience, any task can be possible. His thoughts even today guide us in the direction of nation-building."
Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a pioneer of non-violent resistance. Through his principles of ahimsa and satyagraha, he inspired millions of Indians to take part in the struggle for freedom from British rule.

In another post, the Chief Minister wrote, “On the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister of India, the epitome of honesty and simplicity, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji, countless salutations. Your life dedicated to public service and national interest is an inspiration for millions of Indians. Let us, on his birth anniversary, all resolve to imbibe his ideals in our lives and contribute to nation-building."
Born in Uttar Pradesh in 1904, Lal Bahadur Shastri was India’s second Prime Minister and served from 1964 to 1966. He died in Tashkent on January 11, 1966, at the age of 61, shortly after signing the Tashkent Pact with Pakistan.
