Political leaders from across party lines paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 76th death anniversary, which is observed as Martyrs’ Day in the nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Pinarayi Vijayan, paid homage to the Father of the Nation on this day. They emphasized the relevance of Gandhi’s messages of peace and harmony in today’s world and pledged to protect his ideals. The day holds significance as it marks the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, who was killed by Nathuram Godse on January 30, 1948. Every year, the nation remembers Gandhi’s peaceful and non-violent methods to achieve independence from British rule, and he is honored on his death anniversary as the people of the country observe ‘Mahatma Gandhi Punyatithi’. This day is also known as Shaheed Diwas and is meant to honor those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence.
