Congress demands opening of Gandhi Vatika Museum built in Jaipur
The HinduThe Opposition Congress on Monday demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. Calling upon Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to open the museum to the public without delay, Mr. Gehlot warned that Gandhians would launch a hunger strike against the administration’s “stubbornness” if the demand were not accepted. The Gandhi Vatika was conceived as a “cultural statement” against the attempts to destroy Gandhian values and erase the Mahatma from people’s memory. Conceptualised by the Gandhi Peace Foundation, the museum challenges the powers making concerted efforts to make the Gandhian philosophy irrelevant, despite celebrating Gandhiji in front of the world.
