Sonia Gandhi explains the important role played by aam admi in Indian democracy

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, while taking part in the discussion to commemorate the 60th anniversary of India's first Parliamentary session asserted that the common people in the country have become the heart and soul of our 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.

“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” commented the Congress President.

Sonia Gandhi then remembered Mahatma Gandhi, the father of nation and said, “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," added Sonia Gandhi.
