Indore: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said keeping one’s surroundings and neighbourhoods clean is also a form of patriotism.
In a video message for Indore Municipal Council and some local civic bodies at the launch of their cleanliness drive to mark Mahatama Gandhi’s birth anniversary, Modi said, “Patriotism does not only mean going on the warfront and fighting against the enemies on the border. Keeping your surroundings, neighbourhoods, villages and slums clean is also a form of patriotism.”
He also lauded Lok Sabha Speaker and Member of Parliament, Indore, Sumitra Mahajan, for her active role in launching the cleanliness drive in the city. (PTI)
