Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today, recalling Jesus Christ’s sacrifices on Good Friday, “may the thoughts of the Lord Christ continue to inspire people.” “Today on Good Friday, we recall the spirit of the sacrifice Lord Christ was blessed with. He withstood pain and suffering but never deviated from his ideals of service and compassion. May the thoughts of the Lord Christ keep inspiring people,” PM Modi tweeted. Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also remembered Christ on the occasion and said, “May this Good Friday fill every heart with love, peace and compassion.”
