While Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government dropped the hymn 'Abide with Me' from the Republic Day's Beating the Retreat ceremony, causing a huge uproar in the country, the 19th-century hymn was sung for the first time at Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad during its unique all-religion prayer meet held on Sunday on occasion of its founder Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary.

The hymn, considered to be personal favourite of Mahatma Gandhi, was included in the prayers for the first time.
