Gujarat Chief Minister Vijaybhai Rupani on Monday inaugurated the Ahmedabad chapters of Jain International Organisation (JI0) and Jain International Women Organisation (JIWO) at a grand function here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, he reiterated Gujarat Government’s commitment to policy of ‘sarva dharma samabhav’ with justice to all and appeasement to none.
He appealed to all to work for the uplift of the needy, the last man in the last mile. More voluntary organizations should come forward to repay their debt to the society.
He said the Government has undertaken pilot project of Rs 250-crore pedway connecting Palitana and Vallabhipur for pilgrims going on foot.
It ensured 24x7 cleanliness at pilgrims centres like Palitana and Shetrunjay, and developing the Buddhist tourists’ circuit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reviewed the Taranga Hill Project.
Rupani said that Gujarat is Number One in infrastructure in the country.
It not only believed in theory of live and let live, but also in compassion, saving the lives of birds during kite festival, checking cow slaughter, saving the lives of youth going astray in hookah bars and drinking.
Ahmedabad Mayor Gautam Shah said that sants perform a yeoman’s job of bringing out the latent and hidden talent of the people.
Every time a sant visits the city, the city lights up to receive the spiritual leader.
