GANDHI AND HIS FOLLOWERS


Gandhi Jayanthi was celebrated as usual on October 2, 2011 all over India. The main function was in Raj Ghat, Delhi where alongwith the Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh, the senior leader of B JP Mr.L.K.Advani too paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi. Simultaneously Mr.Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat paid a visit to Porbandar in Gujarat the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi. He visited Keerti Mandir, the actual birth place of Gandhi and participated in inter-religious prayer and inaugurated Gandhi Smrithi Bhavan situated in Chowpathi grounds, Porlbandar. On the internet Mr.Modi stated, he is proud of being a son of the soil of Gujarat, the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi who transformed the world. He also exhorted the people to buy the Khadi products by which one could help the poor in ameliorating their condition as advocated by Mahatma Gandhi. He further stated that by buying Khadi cloth one could really pay a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

We are glad that Mahatma has found the supporter and sympathizer even in the midst of the political opponents hailing from RSS camp.
