Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday paid tributes to India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru on his birth anniversary, saying he was a towering visionary who laid the foundation of the country with values of brotherhood, egalitarianism and modern outlook.

Born in 1889, the Congress stalwart remains India’s longest serving Prime Minister.

 

“Our endeavour must be to conserve these values,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi also offered floral tributes at Shanti Vana here on the 131st birth anniversary of Nehru.
