Gandhi Jayanti

Kangana Ranaut sparked controversy with a social media post on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary, praising former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri while seemingly downplaying Gandhi'd significance as the 'Father of the Nation'. This led to backlash from Congress leader Supriya Shrinate and senior BJP member Manoranjan Kalia, who criticised her comments as inappropriate and damaging to the party's image.

The 154th birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi is being celebrated across the country on Monday. Every year various programmes are organised across the country on his birth anniversary. Like different parts of the country, Mahatma Gandhi had a different bond with Himachal Pradesh. The contribution of Mahatma Gandhi to the independence of the country can never be forgotten. Even after so many years of independence, the Dagshai Jail in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh has a special significance as Mahatma Gandhi spent two days in that prison. Apart from that the British had tortured the freedom fighters in this jail and the walls of this jail still tell the stories of prisoners.
