PM Modi also said that 'su raj' (good governance) was as important to India as 'swaraj' (self-rule).

"Sadguru gave a mantra during freedom movement - of Swadeshi. Now, the nation has started 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat Mission'. Local trade and products are being strengthened, local is being made global," PM Modi said.

PM Modi said that Sadguru Sadafaldeo ji Maharaj and many saints hugely contributed to India's freedom struggle, but their contribution was not described in history the way "it should have been done".
