Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that democracy has to be further strengthened by moving ahead on the path of truth and non-violence instead of religion and caste.
“Today there is an atmosphere of tension in the country. In this, Gandhi ji’s principles are most relevant. In such a situation, we have to play an important role in the country’s progress by adopting truth, non-violence, peace and harmony in life. This is also the basis of our culture,” Gehlot said while addressing the Gandhi Darshan Meet of the Directorate of Peace and Non-
Violence at the Rajasthan International Centre in Jaipur on June 14.
