On the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, I extend my heartiest and warm greetings to the people of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Mahatma Gandhi was an apostle of peace and non-violence and a staunch devotee of truth and communal harmony. His philosophy has stood the test of time and would continue to do so, as long as human kind seeks peace and equality.On the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, I extend my heartiest and warm greetings to the people of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
