Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) on Thursday remembered Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary and observed the day as National Unity Day at Bapu Vatika of Morhabadi in the State Capital where almost all top officials of the party were present.
Inaugurating the symposium on the occasion, JPCC president, Rameshwar Oraon said that Mahatma Gandhi’s body is not present but his soul is still with every citizen of the Country.
“Gandhi Ji fought for next generations of the Country. Main tools of his struggle were truth and non-violence.
He propagates truth as God and his main weapon was non-violence. The meaning of his main prayer ‘Vaishnav Jan’ was that those people are noble who understands pain of others. If we have to become follower of Gandhi Jee then we should follow path of ‘Vaishnav Jan’ prayer song,” said Oraon.
Appealing to the party workers JPCC Chief said that at present people are destroying ideas of Gandhi Ji. “We have to save it and the work is very tedious because the destroyers are large in numbers but by making small group of workers we will spread of peace and non-violence among masses. Some people are trying to destroy basic structure of the Country on the name of religion but the party will not let them to do so. Indian National Congress (INC) is believed in religious harmony and fraternity,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion Agriculture and Co-operative Minister, Jharkhand Government, Badal said, “We are ashamed because killers of Gandhi Ji are still alive (Gandhi Ham Sharminda Hain Tere Katil Jinda Hain). His thoughts and deeds are required more at present then during the freedom struggle. Gandhi Ji’s notion that ‘God and Allah is your name, Give wisdom to all of them’ is more relevant than earlier.”
A large numbers of JPCC officials and workers were present at Bapu Vatika of Morhabadi Ground in the State Capital. Prominent of them was Health Minister, Government of Jharkhand, Banna Gupta. The Minister paid floral tribute to statue of Mahatma Gandhi erected at Bapu Vatika on the occasion.
