News Topical, Digital Desk : UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that Gandhiji's message of peace has a renewed relevance amid rising tensions in the world. He called on the global community to follow Mahatma Gandhi's path to resolve differences and advance diplomacy.
He delivered this message on Thursday during a special commemorative event organised by India's Permanent Mission to the United Nations to mark the International Day of Non-Violence, observed on October 2.
Gandhi did not just talk about ideals, he lived them too.
He said, “On this International Day of Non-Violence, we honor the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and his unwavering commitment to peace, truth, and respect for all. Gandhi not only spoke of these ideals, he lived them. His message is renewed in this time of rising tensions and deepening divisions.”
'The foundations of peace are at risk'
He said violence is replacing dialogue, civilians are bearing the brunt of conflict, international law is being violated, human rights are being trampled and the foundations of peace are under threat.
