His message of non-violence, message of peace, message of unity, message of harmony remains eternally memorable," Banerjee wrote on X. The chief minister also mentioned Gandhi's iconic prayer, 'Ishwar Allah tero naam, sabko samnati de bhagwan' (O God, your name is Ishwar, your name is Allah; grant peace to all), which calls for religious tolerance, peace, and harmony among all people. "His message of non-violence, message of peace, message of unity, message of harmony remains eternally memorable," the CM said. Banerjee emphasised the importance of remembering and upholding this message, especially in times of growing divisiveness. "We especially remember those words today and request everyone to remember them," she added in the post, urging citizens to reflect on the teachings of Gandhi.
