The workers of Indian Youth Congress on Saturday held a ‘Tiranga march’ on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi to give a message of peace and harmony, a statement said. IYC national president Srinivas BV said that to take the country on the path of progress, there was a need to implement Mahatma Gandhi's ideologies even in the present times. ''Gandhi can be shot, but Gandhi can never be erased, because Gandhi is a thought, Gandhi’s life is a way of living,'' he said in the statement. Only non-violent revolution can defeat the growing hatred in the world, he said. ''Every power fails in front of the power of non-violence. Hate and division can be defeated by following the path of non-violence,'' he added. The march started from the memorial of former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri to Gandhi Smriti to give the message of peace and harmony, it said. Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi also known as the 'father of the nation', on October 2.
