Speaking in the opening function of two-day national
convention on “Mahatma Gandhi’s life-philosophy” at newly built Gyan Bhavan here
on Monday, he said: There is an atmosphere of intolerance and hatred prevailing
in the world as well as in the nation. One sided dialogues are going on every
where with illogical reasoning. So it has become necessary for the Gandhians to
arrive into a conclusion and set an agenda for the nation”.
“The seminar organized here is not only a stage to give
reaction but to find a solution to the existing problems and we will take the
outcome of the conference to the people. Then the people will decide which agenda they prefer”, he
said.
“Now, people have become more and more materialistic. They
love Mahatma Gandhi but do not want to follow his thoughts. It’s our duty to
spread the messages of Mahatma Gandhi to common people”, he added.
The two-day seminar also marked the beginning of year-long
centenary celebration of Champaran Satyagrah that Mahatma Gandhi had launched in
1917 to fight for the cause of indigo farmers.
