Said Prime Minister Lee:"If we take Gandhi's message to heart, then we must try our best to resolve differences calmly and peacefully, appreciating the views of the other side, and without inflaming passions or hardening attitudes.Gandhi also believed in the intrinsic equality of every person, a fundamental ideal which Singapore upholds, said the Prime Minister.
Together, they inaugurated the Gandhi Solar Park at the UN headquarters in New York, the Gandhi Peace Garden at the State University of New York College, and UN postage stamps commemorating the Indian hero's 150th birth anniversary.
