PM Modi's monthly radio address Mann Ki Baat was aired on Sunday where he urged Indians to launch "a new revolution" to banish single-use plastic from October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
"This year, when we celebrate Bapu's 150th birth anniversary, we shall not only dedicate to him an India that is Open Defecation Free, but shall also lay the foundation of a new revolution against plastic, by people themselves, throughout the country," he said in his radio address.
"Let us celebrate Gandhi Jayanti this year as a mark of plastic free Mother India. Let us celebrate October 2 as a special day," he said.
