Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, Congress leader Digvijay Singh and a number of leaders today paid rich tributes to Acharya Tulsi, a jain religious leader.

Speaking at an event to mark the birth centenary of Acharya Tulsi, Gogoi hailed the Jain leader's contribution, saying his teaching was still relevant.

"The need of the hour is to follow the path of peace and harmony. This is the path that has guided millions. We must work towards maintaining peace in the country," he said.

Singh, Rajya sabha MP Tarun Vijay, and TMC MP Vivek Gupta were among other leaders who attended the function.

Digvijay Singh said "only non-violence can take the country forward,."
