At 10 a.m., Modi stepped into the dimly lit Gandhi Smriti, the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s 1948 assassination, and began an all‑faith prayer that drew devotees from across the country.
After the prayer, the prime minister walked among the students, shaking hands and asking questions as they performed the bhajan ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ with harmonium and tabla.
Vice President CP Radhakrishnan and religious leaders from Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and Jain communities joined the gathering, underscoring the event’s interfaith message.
The PM’s remarks on X, where he highlighted the timeless message of Bapu, are expected to shape the government’s upcoming youth outreach strategy.
