Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today attended the finale of month-long celebrations held in schools across the UT to mark the 153rd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, organized by the Department of School Education.
The Shanti Yatra which was started from Anantnag and Jammu on 7th September as part of the celebrations also culminated at the SKICC today.
On the occasion, the Lt Governor paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation and also remembered former Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri ji on his birth anniversary.
When the country was in a state of gloom in 1947, Pujya Bapu ji saw a ray of hope in Kashmir. We are determined to build the J&K of Bapu's dreams empowering every section of the society without discrimination, said the Lt Governor.
Violence has no place in a civilized society. Truth and Non-Violence were the true powerful instruments of Bapu. I urge people to imbibe the timeless teachings of Bapu and contribute to nation building. Misguided youth must shun the path of violence and join the mainstream, the Lt Governor said.
