Abdullah posted pictures of his visit to the Ashram on social media while stating, “My visit to Ahmedabad is now complete. I feel both humbled & privileged to have been shown around the Sabarmati Ashram of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. His teachings ring true even today & point us in the direction we should take but seldom do.”

During his visit to the Ashram, Abdullah also tried to spin the charkha.

The J&K CM stated in another post on social media, “I was also able to try my hand with a Charkha. I had a very patient teacher who tried to teach me to spin cotton in the same way that Gandhi ji did decades ago.”
