gandhi quotes, handwritten notes: pages from pm modi’s personal diary go viral

New Delhi: Pages from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal diary surfaced online showing quotes from Mahatma Gandhi. The photos of the pages were shared by a social media account called ‘Modi Archive’

The social media user wrote, “We bring to you pages from @narendramodi’s personal diary, which demonstrate that not only did he extensively read Mahatma Gandhi, but he also wrote down Gandhi’s quotes in his personal diary as something of inspirational value to him. These entries continued to guide his interactions later on.”

One quote read, “I have no weapon but love to wield authority over anyone.”

The second quote that can be seen in the pic read, “My greed of [sic] nonviolence is an extremely active force. It has no room for cowardice or even weakness. There is hope for a violent man to be someday nonviolent, but there is none for a coward.”

“There is sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed,” is another quote that PM Modi mentioned in his diary.

A fourth quote read, “If blood be shed, let it be our own. Let us cultivate the calm courage to die without killing.”

Earlier today, the Prime Minister today paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi through a heartfelt post on social media on the occasion of his death anniversary. PM Modi said Gandhi’s sacrifices inspire people to serve and fulfill vision for the country.

“I pay homage to Pujya Bapu on his Punya Tithi. I also pay homage to all those who have been martyred for our nation. Their sacrifices inspire us to serve the people and fulfill their vision for our nation,” PM Modi wrote on Twitter.

Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead on this day in 1948 by Nathuram Godse. His death anniversary is observed as Martyrs’ Day.
