An Indian spiritual leader has met US President Joe Biden and suggested introducing “peace education” in American schools to tackle the rising incidents of gun violence in the country.
Jain leader Acharya Lokesh Muni, who is currently on a month-long trip to the US, met President Biden in Los Angeles last week on the sidelines of a Democratic Party event.
“The problem is not only guns, but the problem is with the mindset, the real solution is to train that mindset inside our brain,” Muni told Biden during the meeting.
“We need to introduce ‘Peace Education’ from the primary level itself, and if we are successful in doing this, then we will find a permanent solution,” he asserted.
On May 24, a gunman stormed into an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two teachers, in the deadliest school shooting in the US in nearly a decade.
