The Indian Ambassador delivered a speech on the occasion, in which he spoke about the struggles of the Indian leader, his life, and ways he served his nation. “He is the spiritual leader of India and was the leader of the resistance against tyranny through the mass civil disobedience that led to the independence of India,” Suri said.
