Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma visited the Gandhi Ashram at Noakhali on Monday and paid rich tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 75th death anniversary. The Ashram commemorates Mahatma Gandhi's "Peace Mission" to Noakhali in 1946 and his message of nonviolence and communal harmony.
Pranay Verma also participated in a discussion titled "The Relevance of Mahatma Gandhi in the Contemporary World" organized by the Gandhi Ashram Trust. Members of the Trust, local political leaders, representatives of local administration as well as civil society and academia joined the interaction.
In his remarks, Pranay Verma underlined the guiding light of Gandhi's philosophy of truth, humanism and nonviolence in showing us the path to deal with today's global menace of extremism and terrorism. He also emphasized Gandhi's belief in harmony with nature, his determination for the empowerment of the poorest and his message of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" that inspires the motto of "One Earth, One Family, One Future" adopted by India for its G20 Presidency.
