Vice President recalls Mahatma's 'view' to shut Congress platform

Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday invoked Mahatma Gandhi’s “suggestion” to disband the “Congress as a platform” after India attained Independence in 1947.

Mr. Naidu also said everybody celebrated Supreme Court’s unanimous verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, which cleared the decks for the construction of a Ram temple.

The Vice-President was speaking as the chief guest to mark the 40th foundation day of the Institute of Rural Management (IRMA), Anand, on the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) campus.
