Indian batsman Suresh Raina tweeted about being nominated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the ‘Swachchta Abhiyaan.’ Raina, who is currently playing the One-Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka, said he will gladly answer the call once he returns to his home in Uttar Pradesh (UP) after the series ended.
Honoured to be nominated by @PMOIndia for #SwachhtaAbhiyaan Will take up the endeavour as soon as I’m in UP after ODI series

Raina then tweeted in support of the campaign, mentioning that cleanliness is “a reflection of our civilization (sic)” and that it should no longer be just a dream.
Cleanliness is a reflection of our Civilization. It has started as a dream but we should all make it our own mission. @PMOIndia
