The Congress party tweeted quoting Gandhi: "Congress President Smt Sonia Gandhi has paid tributes to great revolutionary Freedom Fighter, Chandra Shekhar Azad on his birth anniversary."

"Remembering him as the brave son of Mother India for whom a progressive & inclusive India free from colonialism stood above anything else...Smt. Gandhi said that, Azad, in his life and death, inspired youth to fight for India's freedom and values that we stand for," the party tweeted.
