Earlier, the chief minister also paid tributes at Thiruvalluvar Memorial and visited Gandhi Mandapam in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.
While paying tribute to the land of Kanyakumari, the Chief Minister said that Vivekananda took power from this place and gave a message of unity to the world at the Chicago conference. Here Mahatma Gandhi gave the message of peace and brotherhood.
