(PTI Photo by Subhav Shukla)Union Minister Mahesh Sharma on Thursday likened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Mahatma Gandhi, saying that the two are alike in being an inspiration to others. Gandhi’s dandi march as well as the namak satyagrah, was a part of the non-violent civil disobedience movement against British rule in India. “This book is extremely important for India, especially in the present times, wherein there is a need for humanity in the world,” Sharma said.
