Mukherjee, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and senior BJP leader L K Advani were among the prominent people who visited Gandhi’s memorial at Rajghat to offer floral tributes.
Other dignitaries who visited Rajghat included Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, Defence Minister A K Antony and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
An all-religion prayer was conducted during the remembrance ceremony. The favourite hymns of Gandhi were also played at the function.
