Speakers at a discussion yesterday underscored the need for practising non-violence policy of Mahatma Gandhi to restore democracy in the country.

The discussion titled ' Non-violence policy is the way to world peace' was organised by Freedom Fighters' Co-ordination Council at Cirdap auditorium in the city to mark the 139th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
“We the politicians should follow the non-violence policy of Mahatma Gandhi to be the real friend of common people which is essential to establish a non-communal country,” said Surangit Sengupta, presidium member of Awami League.
Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique said people's power was the main philosophy of Gandhi but our political leaders who run the country don't realise that philosophy and as a result conflict and violence are taking place pushing the country backward.
