Former West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi said today the bigger leader or party is expected to make the bigger gesture and sacrifice, as he gave a call to all democratic forces to harmonise their strengths and fight bigotry and violence.
Gandhi, who is Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, was the joint opposition candidate for vice president's post in the election held in August last year.
Accepting the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana award or promoting communal harmony and peace, he said, "I envision the democratic parties and movements of India in the wisdom of their dynamism to harmonise their strengths to meet the challenge of harmony's opposite - suspicion, bigotry and violence."
