Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha paid tributes to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi on his Punyathi, today.
He attended the solemn event organised by the Gandhi Global Family, J&K and honoured the family members of freedom fighters, martyrs, social activists and NGOs for their exemplary contribution in nation building.
“Mahatma Gandhiji’s principles are shaping a new Jammu Kashmir, which has been a victim of violence and terrorism for more than three decades. Following the ideals of Bapu, the UT of J&K is today creating its new identity as a land of peace, harmony and brotherhood,” the Lt Governor said.
He said the hymns of Mahatma Gandhi, his message of truth, non-violence, simplicity and equality of all human beings are creating a new consciousness among the people. The annual Shanti Yatra dedicated to spread Bapu’s ideals across Union Territory is inspiring and guiding people towards peace and unity, he observed.
