Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also paid his tributes on Gandhiji's death anniversary and said,
 
"On this very day, the ideology of hatred and violence had snatched away their revered Bapu from the country".

आज ही के दिन नफ़रत और हिंसा की विचारधारा ने देश से उनके पूज्य बापू को छीना था।

और आज वही सोच उनके सिद्धांतों और आदर्शों को भी हमसे छीन लेना चाहती है।

पर नफ़रत की इस आंधी में, सत्य और सद्भाव की लौ को बुझने नहीं देना है।

यही गांधी जी को हमारी सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि होगी।… pic.twitter.com/qt10USBauj

On social media post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, "Today the same thinking wants to snatch away their principles and ideals from us. But in this storm of hatred, the flame of truth and harmony must not be extinguished. This will be our true tribute to Gandhiji" he said.
