A few days back, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met a gamut of celebrities from the Hindi film industry at his official residence in New Delhi. The occasion was a special screening of a short film, with a ticker reading, “150 years of celebrating the Mahatma” as part of the celebrations of the 150th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
On Wednesday, the official Twitter handle of the BJP tweeted a video that shows selected moments from the program. The duration of the video is just above nine minutes and is produced by Rajkumar Hirani Films with support from the Government of India.
Addressing the gathering, PM Modi shares the purpose of the entire exercise, which was to highlight the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi as a part of the ongoing celebrations of the 150th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation.
