Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi today on his 76th death anniversary. In a post on X, PM Modi said "I pay homage to Pujya Bapu on his Punya Tithi.

I also pay homage to all those who have been martyred for our nation. Their sacrifices inspire us to serve the people and fulfil their vision for our nation."

Another X handle, which often shares anecdotes and developments linked to the Prime Minister's life, posted some pages from Modi's personal diary carrying quotes from Gandhi. 'We bring to you pages from @narendramodi's personal diary, which demonstrate that not only did he extensively read Mahatma Gandhi, but he also wrote down Gandhi's quotes in his personal diary as something of inspirational value to him. These entries continued to guide his interactions later on," the post read.
