The Speakers remembered Mahatma Gandhi and described him as one of the tallest leader of the world who dethroned the mightiest rulers through his philosophy and weapon of Sataya Grah (Non-Violence).
The entire world acknowledged Mahatma Gandhi as a leader of a great vision and learned lesson from his philosophy which shall remain relevant for all times to come. They said that his philosophy and principles are becoming more and more relevant even today and India can remain united and stronger by following his philosophy and teachings they said there is no alternative to the basic principles of “unity in diversity” because of the pluralistic composition of our country. Those forces which are opposed to this fundamental philosophy are sowing the seeds of disunity and division of India and all right thinking people must unite and rise to the occasion to defeat the designs of communal and divisive forces.
The speakers also remembered Former Prime Minister Lal Bhadur Shastri and recalled his contribution to the nation and his commitment to Honesty, Integrity and simplicity, who realized the strength of this nation in the Gandhian philosophy and gave the slogan of “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan”.
Addressing the gathering Sh. Raman Bhalla said that the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi is relevant for all times to come and even more relevant today when an atmosphere of conflicts and violence prevails in different parts of the world.
He said that Mahatma Gandhi led the nation to freedom through non-violence against the mighty British rulers. He said that India is known allover world by the philosophy of Non-Violence and tolerance, since India as a pluralistic society has proved itself to be the most successful democracy in the world.
He also remembered the contributions of Lal Bhadur Shastri and paid rich tributes to him for his outstanding role in the freedom struggle and later in different capacities especially as Prime Minister. He said that Shastri Ji was symbol of honesty, integrity, and dedications towards the nation.
On this occasion JKPCC also launched “Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod” Signature Campaign. Disclosing further PCC Working President Raman Bhalla said that the large-scale Vote Chori and manipulation of electoral rolls have deeply shaken people’s faith in the very foundation of our Republic. This is not an isolated crime, but part of a larger assault on our Constitution, a weakening of our economy, the perpetuation of systemic social injustice, and a grave threat to India’s integrity. In response, our Party launched a three-phase nationwide agitation.
The third phase, being carried out from 15th September to 15th October 2025, through a coordinated, door-to-door and public outreach effort, we are committed to collecting maximum signatures against this brazen theft of votes. District, block, and mandal-level functionaries are leading the campaign in their respective areas.
