Kozhikkode: Mega star Mammootty has promised his support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inviting him to join the Swacha Bharat Abhiyaan mission to make the country clean.

In his facebook post, the South Indian superstar said cleanliness ought to originate from an individual through self discipline and spread to other parts of the society and the entire country.This cannot be imposed on anyone.

Thanking the prime minister for the invitation, he commended Modi for emulating Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

“We all know that personal hygiene has to be given top priority, and once an individual learns to respect his own body he will be inspired to spread the word of cleanliness to those around him. I am of the view that commitment to planet earth and our country has to begin with the first step of ensuring that we keep our homes clean first, and then we set out to keep our promise to our brethren and the whole of our country and world. That is the soul of our civilization, which is codified in the phrase, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.”
