PM Modi attends prayer meeting at Gandhi Smriti

PM Narendra Modi paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat and attended a Sarva-Dharma prayer meeting at Gandhi Smriti on Martyr's Day.

"Bapu's efforts reshaped the course of our freedom movement - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, January 30

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a prayer meeting at Gandhi Smriti on Friday.

According to the PMO office, PM Modi stated that Bapu's efforts reshaped the course of our freedom movement and left a strong mark on India's journey that continues to be felt across generations.

"Attended a prayer meeting at Gandhi Smriti. Bapu's life gives hope to millions. His efforts reshaped the course of our freedom movement and left a strong mark on India's journey that continues to be felt across generations."

Earlier, PM Modi paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat on the 78th anniversary of his death.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a leading figure in India's freedom movement, succumbed to bullets on January 30, 2026. He was assassinated by Nathuram Godse while he was on his way to daily prayers.

The all-religious prayer (Sarva-Dharma-Prarthana) and Martyr's Day Ceremony, in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, MoS Defence Sanjay Seth, and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, were held.

Every year, Prime Minister Modi visits Rajghat to pay floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. The Delhi Traffic Police also issued a traffic advisory ahead of the function at Mahatma Gandhi Smriti Sthal, Rajghat, on January 30 to mark Martyrs' Day.

While it's a respectful gesture, I sometimes wish we saw more concrete policy actions that truly embody Gandhi's principles of uplifting the poorest. The tribute feels symbolic without deeper application of his ideals in governance.

The traffic advisory was a nightmare today! I was stuck for an hour near Rajpath. I understand the importance of the day, but can't these arrangements be managed better? Still, Shaheed Diwas is a solemn day to remember.

As someone living in Delhi, it's a powerful annual reminder. Seeing the leaders gather for the Sarva-Dharma prayer is a beautiful symbol of the unity Gandhi championed.

Gandhiji's ideals of Swadeshi and self-reliance are perfectly aligned with the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' mission. His legacy continues to guide the nation's path forward. Jai Hind!

My school took us to Gandhi Smriti last year. It's a moving experience. Every Indian, especially the youth, should visit to understand the sacrifice. This annual tribute by the PM is important to keep that memory alive for new generations.
