Bhubaneswar, Feb 22 (UNI) Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today reiterated his appeal to incorporate non-violence in the preamble of the constitution to pay tribute to Gandhiji on his 150th birth anniversary.
Inaugurating the Gandhi Peace Centre set up by the Aditya Birla Group close to Udaigiri Caves in Bhubaneswar and dedicating it to the people of Odisha, Mr Patnaik said, by the time India achieved independence in 1947 non- violence had become truly global, an identity of Indian-ness and a more potential weapon than violence.
‘’I urged a grateful nation to pay tribute to Mahatma by incorporating non violence in the preamble of the constitution in his 150th year.’’ Mr Patnaik said.
