'Month-long Gandhi Jayanti celebrations will continue across J&K as per past practice'

Jammu, Jan 30: The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday said that the principles and values of truth and non-violence to which Gandhiji was committed were beyond time and place.

While paying rich tributes to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi on his Punya Tithi, J&K LG said the principles of Gandhiji were relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

"He has guided us for peaceful resolution of differences and well-being of every Indian,” the Lieutenant Governor said," he said.

J&K LG attended the Shanti Doot Sammelan, organised by Gandhi Global Family and honoured the family members of the army brave-hearts besides paying homage to all the leaders, fighters, and martyrs who devoted themselves towards India’s freedom.

“The world, that we live in today, is witnessing conflicts. In many parts of the globe, societies are facing disruption because of ongoing aggression. In such a scenario, the need for peace and non-violence is deeply felt. I am confident in this situation Bapu's ideals will show the right path to humanity,” LG said.

The LG called upon every section of the society to rededicate themselves to the ideals and values of Mahatma Gandhi and come together for the cause of empowerment of poor, youth, women and farmers and make their valuable contribution to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat.

“Pujya Bapu had once said that the mission of his life was to wipe tears from every eye. It should be our life motto. Welfare of the deprived section should be the government's topmost priority and society's collective strength must bring the poorest of poor to the mainstream of development,” he said.

The Lieutenant Governor commended the Gandhi Global Family J&K for its constant endeavours to promote Gandhian values and spreading the noble message of Truth, Non-Violence and Social Harmony.

Responding to the demand put forth by the President of Gandhi Global Family J&K, Padma Dr S P Varma, LG assured that the month-long Gandhi Jayanti celebrations will continue across J&K as per the past practice.

He said the humanity can achieve the right path and goal of peace, harmony and development in Jammu Kashmir, the country and the world only by following the ideals of Bapu.
