During the debate on intolerance in the country, President Pranab Mukherjee commented 'the real dirt of India lies in our minds but not on the streets' to convey the message 'cleansing India of divisive thoughts'.
Showering praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat mission, Pranab said it should be seen as just the beginning of a much larger and intense effort to cleanse minds and fulfill Mahatma Gandhi's vision 'Everyone One is Equal'.
The President of India voiced his opinion on violence in the society, mistrust and fear. He strongly condemned the incident of a mob killing Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh over rumors that he had eaten beef.
Pranab advices people not to forget the wonders that can be created by non-violence, dialogue and reason. He is a firm believer of the fact that those who are confident of their conviction, secure in their faith and rooted in their culture can hope to live in an open house and open society.
