Speaking on the occasion, JKPCC Chief G. A. Mir recalled the great contributions of Mahatma Gandhi Ji in freedom struggle. The entire World learns from the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi which has awakened the World and taught to live in co-existence. He said some forces in this country were and are against the philosophy of Gandhi Ji. The ideology and philosophy that killed Gandhi Ji, has to be defeated to keep this Country united and maintain peace and harmony. Congress workers and every right thinking citizen has to strengthen the philosophy of Gandhi Ji to defeat the radical forces.

Mir also regretted that the Home Ministry order regarding observing the martyrs day today, has deliberately omitted the name of Mahatma Gandhi which shows the respect of present Government towards Mahatma Gandhi Ji.

Raman Bhalla said that Gahdhi Ji was an institution and a philosophy, which can’t be killed, though he was assassinated on this day in 1948 physically. The philosophy of Gandhi Ji is more relevant today and the philosophy that killed Gandhi has to be defeated and killed to live in peace and harmony in this heterogeneous country.(KNS)
