Gandhi’s statue

I was wondering why Shri Narendra Modi, India’s Prime Minister, couldn't come on the 30th Jan. when Gandhi's Statue will be unveiled! Now I am delighted and must thank Asian Voice of the 28th Feb. which gave the great news that Mahatma Gandhi Statue will be unveiled in the London Parliament Square on Saturday, the 14th March, by Shri Arun Jaitley, India Finance Minister.
I applaud Right Hon British Prime Minister, David Cameron, Lord Meghnad Desai and the whole team of the Gandhi Statue Memorial Trust for making this occasion memorable especially on the Centenary of Gandhi's arrival to India from South Africa. On Gandhi's Principles of Truth, Peace and Nonviolence (Physically, Mentally and Verbally), I am happy that the relations between Britain and India are still going stronger and stronger! On one side will be  the  Great Nelson Mandela of South Africa who adored him and on the other side Winston Churchill, the Great British Wartime PM  who hated Gandhi!
May I say without Gandhi's Statue the London Parliament Square will be 'A Crown without the Kohinoor Diamond!!!'
