Imbibe Gandhian values: Ashok Gehlot to youths

Ashok Gehlot

Jaipur | Amid the ongoing celebration of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday urged youths to imbibe Gandhian values of truth, non-violence, peace and simplicity in their lives.

He also called upon them to spread these values around them.

Addressing the concluding session of 10-day National Unity Camp here in which youths from different states had come to participate, Gehlot said the celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary would continue for a year even after October 2 this year.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat.

Gehlot also urged youths attending the National Unity Camp here to carry the spirit of the country’s unity and integrity to their respective states and impress it upon the people around them.

The camp was organised to propagate the Gandhian philosophy among the present generation youths.

The chief minister said the things learnt in such camps become an asset of life to be utilised for achieving success.

Gehlot also said he has taken an in-principle decision to set up a department of peace and non-violence in the state to propagate Gandhi’s philosophy of peace, harmony, tolerance and non-violence.

It will be initially set up as a cell and will gradually be upgraded to a full-fledged department, he added.

President Xi to make maiden visit to N.Korea ahead of his meeting with Trump

Beijing | President Xi Jinping would make his maiden visit to Pyongyang this week – the first by a Chinese leader in 14 years – in a big boost to the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who is under heavy pressure from the US to give up nuclear weapons programme.

Xi will visit Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) – the official name for North Korea – from June 20 to 21, at the invitation of Kim, the spokesperson for the International Department of the ruling Communist Party of China, Hu Zhaoming, announced here.

His visit coincides with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Xi’s visit, the first by a Chinese leader in 14 years to the internationally isolated country reeling under UN sanctions for pursuing nuclear weapons programme, comes ahead of his proposed meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of G-20 summit scheduled to be held on June 28-29 in Tokyo.

Kim, who had two summit meetings with Trump, is under immense pressure from the US president to give up the nuclear programme. Their summit at Hanoi, Vietnam in February failed and Trump staved off pressure to agree to lift crippling UN sanctions.

Kim, who shares close ties with President Xi, has travelled to China ahead of his proposed meetings with Trump, prompting the US president Tump to allege that the Chinese President was negatively influencing the North Korean leader from clinching a deal to give up the nuclear programme.
