“At the iconic Rajghat, the G20 family paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi - the beacon of peace, service, compassion and non-violence. As diverse nations converge, Gandhi Ji’s timeless ideals guide our collective vision for a harmonious, inclusive and prosperous global future,” PM Modi wrote on X.

"Raj Ghat’s eternal flame burns bright even in the darkest of times. Symbolising that peace and justice, the values championed by one of India’s greatest leaders, can and must prevail in this world," Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, wrote on X.

Leaders from international organisations such as World Bank chief Ajay Banga, International Monetary Fund managing director, Kristalina Georgieva and United Nations Secretary-General Guterres were also present to pay their tributes to the great leader.
