Rajkhowa expressed hope that the birth anniversary of the 'Father of the Nation' would strengthen the spirit of unity among all the people across the globe and promote universal peace and tolerance.
In his message on the occasion, the Governor said that Mahatma Gandhi is the embodiment of peace and non-violence.
"Gandhiji's path of Ahimsa and his commitment to democracy and humanity are universal and are revered throughout the World. As an honour to this greatest son of India, the United Nations had declared Birthday of Gandhiji (October 2) as International Day of Non-violence in 2007," he said.
