He stated, “It holds greater significance now than ever because the world craves Gandhi and his principles amidst the prevailing hatred and conflicts. The situation is escalating, and I firmly believe the world needs Gandhi’s philosophy now more than ever. We need countless Gandhis today.” He concluded.
