JAMMU, Jan 30: In connection with the martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi, the Socialistic Democratic Party (SDP) today held a special public gathering at Nagrota in Jammu in which locals belonging to different communities and faiths participated.
Continuing with her brotherhood and peace mission, Dr Darakhshan led the gathering in lighting of candles for Peace and Non-violence. An all religions prayer session was also held on the occasion. Dr
Darakhshan Andrabi was accompanied with SDP leaders including Ajay Kumar, Aijaz Rasheed, Gursagar Singh, Iqbal Singh and Abdul Majeed. In her address Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that these illuminating lamps signify our resolve to defeat all kinds of darkness and spread the light of goodwill among all religious and regional units within the state. She said that on one hand Hinduism believes in Vasudaiv Kutumbkum (whole world is my family), on the other Islam means peace and goodwill for all and again Guru Granth Sahib is the treasure house of Sufi sensibility signifying communal harmony. “A true Hindu, a true Muslim or a true Sikh has to be an ambassador of peace and universal brotherhood. Myopic outlook is the trait of those who use religion for division, while as religion is a strong tool for expanding the vision of a person,” said Darakhshan Andrabi. On the occasion two thousand and eleven diyas (earthen lamps) were lit signifying a prosperous and illuminating 2011.
Meanwhile, rich tributes were paid to the Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi on his martyrdom today by the JK PCC at its District office Kathua.
The programme was presided over by the Secretary of Jammu Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee Manohar Singh.

He said that congress party and congressmen should remain stead fast on the path of secularism shown by Mahatma Gandhi and that was how we would maintain the unity and integrity of the state and the country.
