During his visit to Srinagar on August 1, 1947, hundreds of locals came on roads to welcome him.”“Gandhi, on the invitation of Sindh chief minister Ayub Khorro, wanted to meet with the Pakistani Hindu community. Gandhi had urged Pakistanis to respect the national flag of Pakistan.“Regrettably, Gandhi, a peace activist and legendary leader was killed by extremists due to his kindness and peace-loving views. Gandhi was a true follower of Hindu Dharma,” Dr. Vankwani added.Gandhi was a well-wisher of Pakistan & Muslim community; this is why he is still remembered in good words by the people of Pakistan & India both.
