Ahmedabad, Aug. 2 -- Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at the Sabarmati Ashram, and said his teachings ring true even today.

Abdullah placed a khadi garland on the statue of Mahatma Gandhi and tried operating a 'charkha' or spinning wheel.

"My visit to Ahmedabad is now complete. l feel both humbled & privileged to have been shown around the Sabarmati Ashram of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. His teachings ring true even today & point us in the direction we should take, but seldom do," wrote Abdullah in a post on X.

In another post, he quoted Gandhi - "True democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the centre. It has to be worked from below by the people of every village".
