Congress on Gandhi Jayanti: ensure politics of compassion over politics of hate

In a post in Hindi on X, Rahul Gandhi paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi remembering him as the man who showed people the path of truth, non-violence, harmony, and united India.

The Congress on Gandhi Jayanti on Monday vowed to "expose" the "total hypocrisy" of those who appropriate Gandhian symbols and project his legacy to the world, "but are simply unable and unwilling to uphold the values he championed." The opposition party also resolved to work towards the victory of "truth over lies", and ensure that the politics of compassion prevails over the "politics of hate, vengeance and prejudice." The Congress paid rich tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge hailing him as not just an individual, but an ideology and the moral compass of the country.
Congress chief Kharge paid floral tributes at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat here.
In a post on X, he said, "Mahatma Gandhi ji is not just an individual, he is an idea, an ideology and the moral compass of our great nation." "His ideals of truth, non-violence, freedom, equality and coexistence have eternal value. We bow in reverence to Bapu's ideals on his Jayanti," Kharge said.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that this Gandhi Jayanti, "let us stand with those Gandhian organisations in different parts of the country, especially Varanasi, Ahmedabad and New Delhi which are under siege and assault by the forces who not only fought the Mahatma all his life but played a key role in creating a climate that led to his assassination." "Let us pledge to fight those elements who glorify the ideas and actions of Godse," he said.
"This Gandhi Jayanti, let us expose the total and complete hypocrisy of those who appropriate Gandhian symbols &mdash; his spectacles, charkha and walking stick &mdash; and project his legacy to the world, but are simply unable and unwilling to uphold all the values he championed and ultimately laid down his life for," Ramesh said.
He also urged people to recall that the Mahatma practised complete transparency and openness, and had no vengeful feelings for his opponents.
Gandhi shunned bigotry, prejudice and hatred, and never misused religion to inflame people's passions, Ramesh said.
Vengeance and showmanship was alien to his character, he added.
"This Gandhi Jayanti, let us all resolve to work towards the victory of truth over lies, and ensure that the politics of compassion prevails over the politics of hate, vengeance and prejudice," he said.
In a post on X, the Congress said, "On Gandhi Jayanti, we pay a billion tributes to the Mahatma, whose life-long dedication to the cause of freedom won India her Independence." "Let us pledge that his values of peace, unity and non-violence &mdash; the bedrock of our nation &mdash; continue to act as our guiding light," the party said.&nbsp;

PM Modi pays tributes to Mahatma, says Gandhi's impact is global

Modi reached Rajghat around 8 am and offered floral petals to the Mahatma's memorial and bowed before it.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary and said his timeless teachings "continue to illuminate our path." The nation remembered Bapu and former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, revered freedom fighters and stalwarts of India, both of whom were born on October 2. Modi on Monday also paid floral tributes to Shastri at Vijay Ghat memorial early in the morning.
Today marks the 154th birth anniversary of Gandhi, hailed as the Father of the Nation, who led India to freedom through the path of non-violence, and continues to be a globally revered figure.
An interfaith prayer service was held at Rajghat where Gandhi's favourite devotional songs were also played.
"I bow to Mahatma Gandhi on the special occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. His timeless teachings continue to illuminate our path. Mahatma Gandhi's impact is global, motivating the entire humankind to further the spirit of unity and compassion.
"May we always work towards fulfilling his dreams. May his thoughts enable every youngster be (sic) the agent of change he dreamt of, fostering unity and harmony all over," Modi posted on X on Monday.
Several Union ministers and bureaucrats were present on the occasion at Rajghat, situated on the banks of Yamuna.
Modi also hailed Shastri on X, saying his iconic call for 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' resonates even today.
"His unwavering commitment to India's progress and his leadership during challenging times remain exemplary. May we always work to realise his vision for a strong India," he posted.&nbsp;

Abhishek Banerjee dares Centre as TMC gets ready for 2-day Delhi showdown

Abhishek Banerjee who reached Delhi on Sunday said he is putting that challenge right across from the soil of Delhi again.

Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee reached Delhi on Sunday ahead of the party&rsquo;s planned protest against denial of MGNREGA and housing scheme funds to Bengal government in the national capital.
Forty-nine busloads of TMC supporters are slated to reach Delhi on Monday.
The TMC will hold a peaceful sit-in by its MPs and state ministers at Rajghat on October 2, and a peaceful rally of the MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme) job card holders the next day, party officials said. Both the programmes will be live streamed.
The buses were mobilised by the regional party after the Indian Railways refused to rent out special trains to take the workers to Delhi pleading unavailability of rakes.
The TMC claimed the denial of trains as well as cancellations of a flight to Delhi were part of an attempt by the ruling BJP party to scuttle its demonstration.
Speaking to reporters at the NSCBI Airport here before flying to New Delhi, Banerjee said, "The agitation will continue till the rightful dues of the people of Bengal are released by the Centre".

</ul>

Five people, including four children, suffered burn injuries after a &lsquo;helium&rsquo; balloon burst into flames after coming into contact with an electric wire. The incident occurred during a birthday party in Bengaluru on September 30.&nbsp;
The injured have been identified as HAL employee Vijay Aditya Kumar, 44, Dhyan Chandra, 7, Ishan, 2, Sanjay, 8, and Sohila, 3, the Indian Express reported.
Neighbours rushed the victims to a hospital following the incident.&nbsp;
A police officer said that there was a sparkling candle in the room and as the balloon burst, the fire spread.&nbsp;
An official suspected that the balloon may have been filled with hydrogen, instead of helium.
&ldquo;Helium is an inert gas and does not react with any other substance. Even if it comes into contact with a flame or heat source, the balloon will just pop like any other ordinary inflated balloon. Whereas, hydrogen is a flammable gas and it spreads fire,&rdquo; the officer said.
