India would perish if it leaves Gandhi's path: Kamal Nath
- Country:
- India
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath said on Wednesday that India would perish if it did not walk on the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was a global leader, he said, paying tributes to the father of the nation on his 150th birth anniversary.
"If our country does not walk on the way shown by Gandhi, then I have no hesitation in saying that both we and our culture would perish," Nath said after garlanding a statue of the Mahatma at the Minto Hall here. "Mahatma Gandhi was not an Indian leader alone. He was a global leader," he said.
Earlier, Nath led a procession of Congress workers which started from Roshanpur Chowk at 8.25 am and proceeded to Minto Hall. After addressing the function at Minto Hall, Nath garlanded a statue of former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri near the Vidhan Bhawan. October 2 is the birth anniversary of Shastri too.
Several processions, with participants reciting bhajans including Gandhi's favorite 'Vaishnava Jana To', were taken out across the state, said MP Congress spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta..\
