Prayagraj: Rich tributes were paid to first Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna Jawaharlal Nehru by city Congress committee members on his 137th birth anniversary.Addressing the party workers, MP Ujjwal Raman Singh said Pandit Nehru was not only a symbol of secularism and peace but also the architect of a strong India.“He was a staunch advocate of an inclusive society. Nehru had lifted the ban on the RSS, the organisation accused in connection with Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination,” he said.He said Nehru was counted among the world’s greatest leaders who truly believed in and upheld the vision of a pluralistic and democratic nation.“The foundation of industrialisation and several major national institutions was laid during his tenure. This is what nation-building truly means. Destroying established institutions or merely changing their names cannot be called development,” Singh said.He further said Nehru had laid the foundation for the service sector, which is playing a significant role in India’s continuously growing GDP today.The meeting was presided over by City Congress president Fuzail Hashmi. The proceedings were conducted by former UPCC spokesperson and secretary Kishore Varshney.
