3.Once an almirah full of torn and old khadi clothes worn by Shastri was noticed. While his family tried to throw away the clothes, Shastri intervened. He said: "These khadi clothes have been woven lovingly by people using charkha. Come November, I will wear these old, torn clothes, and a coat on them. Nobody will notice." Shastri once gave away an old, torn khadi kurta to his wife and asked him to cut handkerchieves out of it.
