Leaders from the Congress and NCP (SP) paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 155th birth anniversary. Key leaders visited Mani Bhavan, Gandhi's Mumbai headquarters from 1917 to 1934. They called for reflection on Gandhi's principles of social harmony and brotherhood, extending a message to political figures including Prime Minister Modi.

Leaders from the Congress and NCP (SP) gathered to pay tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his 155th birth anniversary on Wednesday.

Gandhi's Mumbai headquarters, Mani Bhavan, saw visitors from all walks of life paying homage to the Father of the Nation.

Chennithala, along with Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad, state party chief Nana Patole, and other leaders, also visited Mani Bhavan.
