Congress leaders, led by former Deputy Chief Minister OP Soni, paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 156th birth anniversary here on Thursday. The event was organised to mark Gandhi Jayanti and recall the values of truth, non-violence and harmony that the Father of the Nation stood for.

Speaking on the occasion, Soni said Gandhiji’s principles remain relevant even today as the country continues to face challenges of social unity, peace and equality. He urged people, especially the youth, to follow the path shown by Gandhi and to dedicate themselves to service of the nation. “Gandhiji taught us that freedom and progress can only be achieved through non-violence and truth. It is our duty to preserve his ideals,” Soni said.
