President asks youth to follow non-violence on eve of R-Day

In his customary address to the nation on the eve of 71st Republic Day on Saturday, President Ram Nath Kovind appealed to the youth to remember Mahatma Gandhi’s message of ahimsa, or non-violence, “when fighting for a cause” and B R Ambedkar’s advise to “hold fast to constitutional methods” of achieving social and economic objectives.
 

The President’s comments come amid nationwide protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. For over a month now, protesters across the country have held aloft the photographs of Gandhi and Ambedkar as their guiding lights.
