Congress MP K.C. Venugopal on Friday (December 12, 2025) asked the Centre to issue a commemorative coin and a postage stamp to mark 100 years of the meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and Sree Narayana Guru at Sivagiri in 1925.

Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Mr. Venugopal said, “Gandhi ji travelled to Sivagiri during the Vaikom Satyagraha—a struggle against caste discrimination. There, he met Sree Narayana Guru, who had already shaken the foundations of caste inequality with the message, “One Caste, One Religion, One God.”

“I request the government to honour this historical centenary by issuing a commemorative stamp and a commemorative coin, marking the great meeting between Gandhi ji and Sree Narayana Guru ji,” Mr. Venugopal said.
