SRINAGAR, Oct 1: On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Governor N. N. Vohra and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah paid tribute to the Father of the Nation.
In a message, the Governor recalled Mahatma Gandhi’s contributions to the struggle for the achievement of freedom from the colonial yoke, his sustained campaign against social injustice, racism and suppression of the under-privileged sections and his unending pursuit for the establishment of a truly secular and harmonious society. He described Gandhiji as an apostle of peace and a staunch believer of non-violence whose sacrifices and teachings are indelibly imprinted on the global conscience.
The Chief Minister said that the best way of paying tributes to Gandhi Ji is that all of us contribute wholeheartedly to create classless society where equality and justice will rule the roost.
