Glowing tributes were paid to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose by the Congress party leaders and its workers on his 125th birth anniversary on Saturday. In a programme organised at the Rajiv Bhawan, the Congress leaders offered flowers on the portrait of Bose. Speaking on the occasion, the Vice President of Uttarakhand Congress Surya Kant Dhasmana said that Bose had a unique and magnetic personality. He said that Bose was so popular that he defeated Pattabhi Sitaramayya who had full support of Mahatma Gandhi in the election for the post of the Congress president.
Dhasmana said that Bose resigned from the post of Congress president when Gandhi ji publicly stated that it appears that Congress workers no longer have faith in him. The Congress leader said that Bose raised the Indian National Army (INA) which gave a jolt to the British empire. The Congress general secretary Rajendra Shah, Navin Joshi, spokesperson Garima Dassauni, Ajay Singh, Mahesh Joshi and other Congress leaders were present on the occasion.
