President Pranab Mukherjee exhorts people to shun communalism and separatism to keep the country united

President Pranab Mukherjee today exhorted people to shun communalism, separatism and parochialism for united India. Addressing the centenary celebration of Mahatma Gandhi's Champaran Satyagraha at Patna today, he urged people to overcome all sorts of prejudices.

Everyday in some part of India or other we are using 200 languages in our daily life. We are practicing or not practicing all seven major religions. We are living with all three majority groups caucasian, dravidians, mangoliites under one system, one track, one constitution, one identity and that identity is, we are Indian.

The President said, the country achieved Independence after great sacrifice by freedom fighters, which cannot be forgotten. He said, Mahatma Gandhi had always fought for all sections of society and started satyagraha against barbaric atrocities on Indigo farmers in Champaran. Mr Mukherjee said, Champaran Satygraha is unparalleled in the history of freedom movement as it had transformed a barrister in South Africa to Mahatma Gandhi.
