A resolution recognising the contribution made by Mahatma Gandhi through non-violence to promote world peace was unanimously passed by the US House of Representatives,with American lawmakers describing him as a man of all times and places.
While much has been said about the great works of Gandhis life,it is important we never forget that without Gandhi the fates of what is now the worlds largest democracy India,and the oldest democracy,the US,would likely be far different, said Congressman Eni Faleomavaega in his speech on the floor of the House.
The resolution on Gandhi to recognise his 140th birth anniversary was introduced by Faleomavaega and several of his colleagues in June this year.
