PM Modi said that even today the world trembles on hearing the name of Hiroshima. In this visit to the G7 Summit, I have had the privilege of first unveiling the statue of respected Mahatma Gandhi. Today the world is grappling with the battle of climate change and terrorism. The ideal of Bapu is the best way to win the fight against climate change. His lifestyle has been a perfect example of respect, coordination and dedication towards nature.
Lord Budhha and Mahatma Gandhi
PM Modi said that the Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi gave the message of peace to the world. Japan is nurtured and influenced from the thoughts of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi. The statue of Bapu will be a great inspiration in carrying forward thoughts of non-violence and compassion.
