Over a month before Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today gave a clarion call to people to launch a campaign ‘Swachchata Hi Seva, Cleanliness is Service’ and said the mission should be linked to people’s preparations for the ensuing festive season.
In the context of this cleanliness drive, PM Modi made a special mention about a Muslim social organisation in Gujarat – Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind – and how they “cleaned twenty-two affected temples and two mosques in a phased manner” during the recent floods.
“They came together and toiled collectively.
The volunteers of Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hindset a fine, inspiring example of unity for cleanliness.
If this committed effort towards cleanliness become inherent to us, our country will certainly take our nation to greater heights,” Mr Modi said in his in his monthly “Mann ki Baat” radio broadcast.
