AGARTALA, Jan 30 (TIWN): Left parties in Tripura observed Martyrs Day of India, the 73rd death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

Addressing on the occasion, CPI-M convenor Bijan Dhar hit the BJP Govt for Hindutva politics and ongoing tension across India.

He said, “Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas about way of freedom was different and democratic. There may be light differences of ideologies with the Leftists but it is also true that this person (Mahatma Gandhi) dedicated his life for the sake of unity, harmony. His stand was clear. He was very religious person, but never did Hindustva politics”.

“Today India needs to be united again against all odds and with national flags in hands should come forward to save the country and communities’, said Dhar.
