Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Clean India' campaign has been appreciated by Actor Aamir Khan along with social activist and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi.
Social activist and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi on Thursday said that 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' is a very positive campaign and that any movement that is started by the leadership by setting an example is going to have an impact on the people.
"This is a very positive campaign, any movement that is started by the leadership by setting an example will have an impact on the people. I am sure that by the time we celebrate 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth in 2019 India will be a clean nation," Bedi said here.
"Now that the Prime Minister has taken the initiative towards cleanliness, the chief ministers, school principals, administrative heads should ensure that it is taken forward," she added.
Meanwhile, speaking out in support of 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' movie actor Aamir Khan said, "Swachh Bharat is a very important issue for the country. I appeal to all the Indians to pledge today to show their involvement in cleanliness campaign."
Khan also said that clean India movement is the right kind of gift that we can give Mahatma Gandhi on his birthday.
Prime Minister Modi has officially launched the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' from Rajpath, he also administered Swachh Bharat pledge and flagged-off Swachh Bharat walkathon.
He also visited Valmiki Basti and wielded the broom as a token gesture to mark 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'. Earlier in the morning he visited Rajghat and Vijayghat where he paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri respectively on the occasion of their birth anniversaries.
The 'Swachh Bharat' campaign that has been launched nationwide focuses on sanitation, hygiene and waste management.
The launch was preceded by cleanliness campaign week beginning September 25 which saw central government offices being spruced up by discarding or overhauling old furniture and sending old files to record rooms.
