New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS): The Congress has asked state units and office-bearers to mandatorily conduct one-hour padyatra at state and district headquarters on October 2.

The top party leadership, including interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, will take part in the padyatra. The programme of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is also being finalised. Sonia Gandhi would participate in the padyatra in the national capital, said a source.

The padyatra will be followed by seminars, lectures and exhibitions between October 3 and October 9 to spread the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi, according to an internal circular issued by Organisational General Secretary K.C. Venugopal.

"We need to educate people about Mahatma Gandhi's on thoughts on freedom, nationalism, secularism and non-violence," read the circular.

To counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress wants to spread the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi. It was an ideological battle and views of Mahatma Gandhi were still relevant, said a Congress leader.

The Congress plan assumes significance as the BJP has asked its MPs to take part in padyatra in their respective constituencies.

The Congress padyatra was aimed at countering the BJP and drawing a line to stall the BJP's bid to grab the legacy of Mahatma, said a source.

    Congress is required a aggressive but mischief leader like SHAKUNI to encounter BJPeee and bring to the straight line ! but unfortunately there are no such choice in the congreseeeee right now and it wont happens another 14 years which is dangerous to the DEMOCRACY process ! If you study how the govt wants to cash the money from poor to rich ! recent example TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS which is involved with proper documentation and insurances which mint money to the GOVT but our people wants hide or avoid such money which they should be pay thru the FINES !!

    However ! money collected from the public in the form of FINE where it is going no one is questioning ! for that you need a strong opposition leader to ask for the clarifications from ruling party but its not happening ! and it wont happens !
