Speaking on the occasion, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal said, “The great son of India, Mahatma Gandhi always championed the local industry especially handlooms and called upon people to embrace local products produced by weavers of India. The clarion call of Vocal for Local by Honourable PM Narendra Modi echoes a similar message as we must encourage our local industries by buying local, supporting our local industries. Let us join hands to take this wonderful initiative forward.”
