As part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan’ on Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, poet-lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar headed to the Mumbai Central station to sweep the platforms. Javed was the only celebrity from Bollywood to join the Prime Minister’s token campaign on Gandhi Jayanti for a clean India. Speaking of the experience Javed Saab said, “It is always a pleasure to be part of any campaign for a better nation. And Narendra Modiji’s ‘Swach Bharat Abhiyaan’ was definitely a wonderful idea. I happily supported it.” Javed saab points out a significant personal historical link of his past to the clean-India campaign. “50 years ago on 4 October, 1964, I left my home town Gwalior to reach Mumbai by a train that took me to Mumbai Central. And now, just two days short of the day I had arrived in Mumbai 50 years ago, I was the same place as part of a clean-Indian campaign.” Javed was very unhappy to see no other Bollywood celebrity coming out in support of Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan’ on October 2.
