Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, while speaking at the occasion of the function organized to commemorate the 60th anniversary of India's first Parliamentary session, acknowledged the importance of the role of aam aadmi (common people) to strengthen democracy. “If there is one thread running through these past six decades, it is that people's power is felt constantly at the highest levels of governance. The aam admi has become the heart and soul of our democracy and has made it our greatest triumph,” said Sonia Gandhi.
The UPA Chairperson added that “To their eternal credit and our undying gratitude, our founding fathers persisted. The poor and illiterate masses of this country have turned out to be amazingly skilled and sophisticated. Again and again, they have voted with wisdom and purpose, sometimes reaffirming their faith in those who govern them, sometimes voting them out.”
The Congress President said remembering Mahatma Gandhi, “India’s freedom struggle reinvented the idea of democracy. "My notion of democracy", said Gandhiji, the Father of our nation and the leader of our freedom struggle, "is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest," said the Congress President.
