Every Indian knows that Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2 and he was assassinated on January 31. Apparently, these hair-brained student leaders in Agra had skipped their history lessons. As a result, they stuck posters on Mahatma Gandhi's assassination on October 2, 2005, at the Agra University gates and campus.
These posters, circulated by the National Students Union of India, the student wing of the Congress party, on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 136th birthday, displayed slogans like <b>"Bapu Ki Punya Tithi, 02 October" and "Bapu Hum Sharminda Hain, Tere Katil Zinda Hain". </b>Such posters could be seen scattered everywhere in the University and not a single person bothered to take them off the walls even after a number of university professors and employees pointed it out.
On Monday, the NSUI issued an official apology on the issue, stating that this was a mistake made by the printing press and it had been corrected, terming Mahatma Gandhi as the "Heritage" of the Congress and the country. However, the posters could be seen littering the University and college campuses in the town even the next day without any corrections having been made.
This is not the first time that the overzealous Congress leaders of Agra have made such a blunder. <b>A few months ago, the city was flooded with hoardings bearing life-size images of Sonia Gandhi super-imposed on the map of India. To the surprise of the Agra residents, the map made no mention of Kashmir.</b> <!--emo&

Such hoardings had even been placed in front of the District Magistrate's office in the town. He had promptly pointed out the mistake in the map and asked for a correct representation of the Indian map. It was after this that the embarrassed Congress pulled down all these hoardings, but not before the other political parties took full advantage of this mistake to defame the party.
