On this occasion, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav said that, on the death anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, he received a lot of praise. Gandhiji’s ideas and experiments of truth and non-violence are still giving strength in the peasant movement. The greatest strength in this struggle is the belief that truth prevails over the untruth and that the upholder ultimately supports the truth.
"A humble tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary, showing the world the path of truth and non-violence," tweeted CM Yogi.
