Ashok Gehlot decries decision to modernise Sabarmati Ashram

The Hindu  

On Friday, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot said the decision to modernise the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad by altering its original form is wrong. "The decision of the Central government and the Government of Gujarat to destroy the original form of Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and modernise it is completely wrong. I again appeal to the Central government not to tamper with the original form of Sabarmati Ashram. The Gandhi Ashram on the banks of the Sabarmati river, also known as Sabarmati Ashram, was where Mahatma Gandhi lived between 1917 and 1930 as he led the freedom struggle.
