‘Real dirt of India lies in our minds’: Pranab Mukherjee

Ahmedabad, Dec 01 (ANI): President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said the real dirt of India lies not in our streets but in our minds and in our unwillingness to let go of views that divide society into ‘them and us, pure and impure’. They said that we must make a success of the laudable and welcome Swatch Bharat Mission. However, this also must be seen as just the beginning of a much larger and intense effort to cleanse minds and fulfil Gandhi’s vision in all its aspects. President Mukherjee, who inaugurated a new Archives and Research Centre at Sabarmati Ashram here, further said we live in times when the world needs Gandhi more than ever. He said that the Mahatma Gandhi wanted our people to move forward unitedly in ever widening thought and action. President Mukherjee further said every day we see unprecedented violence all around us. Only a non-violent society can ensure the participation of all sections of the people, especially the marginalised and the dispossessed in our democratic process
