All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi expressed deep concern over the mentality prevailing in the country on Thursday (October 02, 2025), remembering his sacrifice on Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

Addressing a gathering, Owaisi said that the ideology of Gandhi’s killers is still alive in India and it needs to be abolished. He said, ‘Those who killed Gandhi had shot bullets in his chest because they talked about Muslims and favored them.’

‘Godse’s ideology support is wrong’

The AIMIM chief said, “Before the murder, Gandhi had gone to the Dargah of Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki of Delhi, which was harmed by the rioters.” Owaisi insisted that even though Gandhi’s killers were hanged, his ‘dirty thinking’ is still present in the country.

Owaisi called Nathuram Godse and his associates as the ‘first terrorist’ of independent India and said that it is sad that some people still support the ideology of Godse. Today flowers are offered at Gandhi’s tomb, but some people have love for Godse by taking the name of Gandhi on heart and tongue. True love with Gandhi means to remove Godse and his terrorist thinking from the heart.

Owaisi appeals to countrymen

He also expressed concern that Gandhi’s killers are being openly honored and slogans are being raised in his name. Owaisi has appealed to the countrymen to remember Gandhi’s sacrifice and unite against such ideology that promotes hatred and violence.

He said, ‘We have to remember the sacrifice of Gandhi, who gave their lives for the country. To keep their thinking alive, we have to adopt the values ​​of unity, brotherhood and inclusion.

This year i.e. on 2 October 2025, the 156th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi will be celebrated. Although Mahatma Gandhi is considered to be at the forefront in India’s freedom struggle, the role of a strong woman standing behind him cannot be forgotten. The role of a strong woman standing with Gandhiji was completed by his wife Kasturba Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi used to call Kasturba Gandhi Baa.

Gandhiji and Kasturba Gandhi had no common relationship. This relationship became a symbol of love, struggle, self-surrender and life with life. Gandhiji spent a long life of 62 years with Kasturba. For so many years, he was a companion of each other’s happiness and sorrow, but when Kasturba said goodbye to this world, then anyone will become emotional by reading the words that Gandhiji said. In such a situation, let us tell you today what Gandhiji said when Kasturba died.

Gandhiji and Kasturba with childhood from childhood

Mahatma Gandhi and Kasturba got married when both of them were just 13 years old. It was a child marriage, which was common at that time. Initially, Gandhiji tried to run his wife as a husband according to her, but Kasturba always maintained her self-respect. Gradually, Gandhiji also admitted that Kasturba’s insistence, his courage and his dedication is the greatest strength of his life. Gandhiji wrote that was very stubborn, but his nature used to make him strong. I tried to change them, but failed, later understood that she was the best. When Gandhiji was in South Africa, Kasturba started her public life from there, in which she also went to jail, sat in dharna and became a part of every struggle in which Gandhi was there. Even after returning to India, she never left behind. Champaran movement, Salt Satyagraha, Quit India Movement was with them everywhere.

What did Gandhiji say when Kasturba died?

Kasturba’s health deteriorated in early 1944. She was struggling with a heart attack and was with Gandhiji in the prisoner of Aga Khan Palace. He was placed on oxygen support. He realized that now the last moments of his life have come. On 22 February 1944, Kasturba said goodbye to this world by placing his head in Gandhiji’s lap. His last words were not to mourn my death. This should be an opportunity for a bliss. On 23 February, he was cremated at Aga Khan Palace. Gandhiji sat near the whole pyre, until the fire was extinguished. After Kasturba’s death, Gandhiji remembered him and said that even if there was anything, she was above me. Without their unwavering support, I would go to the abyss, they gave me the power to stay on the true path. She was illiterate, but in my view she was a living example of true education.

The first meeting of Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was a very special moment in the history of the Indian independence movement.

First meeting at Charbagh railway station

This first meeting of Nehru and Gandhi took place at Charbagh railway station in Lucknow. This was not a formal or long meeting, but a normal conversation of about 20 minutes between the two. At that time Jawaharlal Nehru’s views were influenced by liberal leaders like his father Motilal Nehru, while Gandhi was talking about walking on the path of Satyagraha and mass movement.

Although there was no major decision in this first meeting, but this brought Nehru and Gandhi in touch with each other. Initially Nehru did not fully agree with Gandhi’s views, but over time he understood Gandhiji’s thinking and considered him his guide.

Information written near the station

In order to make the meeting of both the great personality memorable, the Railways has cherished their inscriptions in front of the station for the first symbol of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru to meet.
