Imphal, October 22 2011:
Gandhi Parikrama, the non-violent march of the Gandhi Global Family has reached Imphal today and met with the President of the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee at Congress Bhawan.
The two member team of the Gandhi Global Family which landed here in Imphal today was SP Varma, VP, Gandhi Global Family and S Rajendro, President, Andhra Pradesh branch.
The team along with the members of the Manipur branch paid homage to Gandhi with floral tributes at his statue.
Speaking to media persons, SP Varma said that Gandhi Global Family is a non political organization trying to spread the teachings and ideology of Mahatma Gandhi, particularly non-violence.
As a part of its march throughout India, the team is visiting the North Eastern states.
He further went on to say that there could have been a lot more members in the team.
But with the economic blockade going on in the NHs of the state it was not possible.
If the ideas of Gandhiji prevailed in the minds of the people there will be no hatred among us, peace will ultimately prevail.
Gandhi Global Family can bring a solution to all problems such as corruption, drug use and violence against women.
So we all need to follow the path of Gandhiji.
The team will be leaving Imphal for Mizoram today.
They will then further visit Tripura and Meghalaya.
