UK PM, Boris Johnson Receives #Gandhi’s ‘Guide To London’ During Ashram Visit—-British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was presented with a copy of a ‘Guide to London’ written by Mahatma Gandhi during his visit to the Indian independence leader’s base in Ashram, Gujarat.
Johnson remarked that “vegetarianism costs far less than meat-eating” as he read on Thursday from the book designed to be a guide for how Indians could manage in London in the late 19th century.
While flying to India for his two-day visit, Johnson told reporters on the plane his own favourite curry was lamb rogan josh, rather than a meat-free variety.
The Sabarmati Ashram, which was the centre of the peace leader’s non-violent struggle against British rule, was one of the first stops for Johnson during his visit to Ahmedabad.
Johnson also draped a ring of khadi cloth around a statue of Gandhi, who studied law at University College, London, during his time in Britain.
After removing his shoes, Johnson remarked: “There’s always a panic that the socks are going to let you down.”
Two women showed the British prime minister how to spin the cloth promoted by Gandhi on a traditional wheel, with Johnson telling them: “It’s a bit of an art, this spinning.”
Johnson signed a guestbook, writing that it was an immense privilege to learn about how Gandhi “mobilised such simple principles of truth and non-violence to change the world for the better.”
From the Ashram, Johnson was driven to a meeting with Gautam Adani, the billionaire industrialist whose Adani Group had been plagued by controversy and allegations ranging from environmental abuse to tax evasion
