Marcos, FL Liza pay respect to Mahatma Gandhi

As part of his five-day state visit to India, President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. paid respect to Indian philosopher and independence hero Mahatma Gandhi. 

Marcos, together with First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos on Tuesday offered a wreath at Raj Ghat for Gandhi. 

Gandhi, who was born in 1869, played a key role in India's fight for independence. 

He was assassinated by a Hindu radical on January 30, 1948, a few months after he led India to freedom from British rule through a non-violent struggle.

Gandhi's dedication to nonviolent and anti-colonial protest had made him an inspirational figure for millions of people up to present times.  —VAL, GMA Integrated News
