  Preserve the Gandhian heritage at Varanasi July 22, 2023 is a red letter day in the history of   Akhil Bharat Sarva Seva Sangh , an institution which carries the heritage of Mahatma Gandhi   formed  soon  after his assassination by a Hindu fanatic. It was on this day the country witnessed the most shameful act of State power which Gandhi looked upon with fear and suspicion that represents violence in a concentrated and organised form. The police force  forcibly entered the premises  of Sarva Seva Sangh in Varanasi, evicted the belongings of the  people who were staying there for decades and  thousands of books and materials  of Sarva Seva Sangh Prakashan  were dumped  outside.
