Gandhi was an ideal of peace, humanity, Secularism: Azad
Srinagar: Vowed to continue with the principles of Gandhian ideology, the DPAP chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said that in present times the ideals of non-violence, Truth, unity and justices are some of the founding principles that Democratic Progressive Azad Party believes in. “These principles are the bedrock of our party’s ideology & my vision for Jammu & Kashmir. Let us continue on our journey hand in hand towards a more equitable & progressive future,” he said.
On the occasion, Gandhi Global Foundation also felicitated Azad and admired his works and contributions in promoting the Gandhian ideology throughout his life. Azad said that one can easily understand why Gandhi has devoted his life to such principles given the present situation where humanity is overridden by materialistic interests. “He was not hungry for power but aiming to build harmony, unity and brotherhood based on justice and equality,” he added.
He strongly recommended his party workers to read the biography of Gandhi and understand how the superior motives for humanity can be achieved peacefully and the system of equality and justice can be established. “His life was not easy. He was cornered from all sides for speaking the truth. But he didn’t care since he had no personal interests. Even till his last breath he fought and believed in the system of equality and justice which made him the father of the nation,” he said.
Among others who were present on the occasion were Taj Mohiuddin Treasurer, Vice Chairman G.M.Saroori, Padhma S.P.Verma, Mohd Amin Bhatt Provincial President, Salman Nizami Chief Spokesperson, Haji Musadiq, Shafiq Shabnam, Khalid Tufail, Amir Bhatt Dist President, Arif Maqbool, Mushtaq Khanday, AAmir Rasool, Umar Kakroo and others.
