Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a ‘White T-shirt’ campaign to mark his 54th birthday. Taking to social media, the Gandhi scion expressed his gratitude for the birthday wishes and shared the significance behind his trademark white T-shirt. “My heartfelt thanks to all of you for your birthday wishes. I am often asked why I always wear a ‘white T-shirt’ – this T-shirt symbolizes transparency, solidity, and simplicity for me,” Gandhi wrote.
He then invited the public to reflect on these values in their own lives by using the hashtag #WhiteTshirtArmy and sharing their thoughts in a video. “Where and how useful are these values in your life? Use #WhiteTshirtArmy and tell me in a video. And, I will gift you a white T-shirt. Lots of love to everyone,” he added.
जन्मदिन की शुभकामनाओं के लिए आप सभी का दिल से धन्यवाद।
