application which would see the world-famous political and spiritual leader's statue displayed on a plinth.The application was submitted by the Association of Indian Organisations , who say the historical icon deserves a monument.
“But the amount of time it has taken to get permission to install, the statue was taken to the Ayrshire consul, so we now have the bust. Dr Chakraborty added: “It’s not for the Indian community only, it is global because Mahatma Gandhi started the process of the black movement, along with the influences of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr.
“Glasgow, I think, is really an exception. People do work together very well and it’s very much multicultural.". A decision was due to be made on Saturday, October 28.
