The video describes the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ as Gandhi’s “transformative journey” and says that it ignited the hearts of millions, brought people together and united the nation.
“This is your chance to witness the leader who bravely questions authority and addresses the evolving needs of the nation,” says the video message.
According to the organisers, at least 5,000 people are expected to attend the public meeting in New York on June 4.
Last week, Indian Overseas Congress chairperson Sam Pitroda said Gandhi’s visit is aimed at promoting shared values and a vision of “real democracy”.
“The purpose of his (Gandhi’s) trip is to connect, interact and begin a new conversation with various individuals, institutions and media, including the Indian diaspora that is growing in numbers in the United States and abroad to promote the shared values and vision of the real democracy with a focus on freedom, inclusion, sustainability, justice, peace and opportunities world over,” Pitroda said in a statement on Sunday.
