"We need to be cautious about the attempts to torpedo the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi by certain forces who glorify his killers," Azad said at a party event here.
Azad said the glorification of the killers of Gandhiji was a threat to the secular fabric of the country, he said, adding that "secularism is the basic strength of our pluralistic society."

He said, "Mahatma Gandhi had seen a ray of hope in Kashmir because it maintained religious harmony when the entire nation was in the grip of communal frenzy at the time of Partition and we must take a pledge to spread and follow his philosophy and principles in day-to-day life."
Azad said Gandhiji's philosophy holds the key to maintain peace and harmony in the world.
"The entire World tries to learn a lesson from his life and principles. His philosophy holds the key to peace and religious harmony in the World. He taught non-violence and tolerance to deal with all issues confronting the humanity. The countrymen should follow his principles to have peace and harmony," he said.
