The government has decided to bring back the rare manuscript of Mahatma Gandhi, written just a fortnight before his assassination, from London."There is no need to worry about this great manuscript. It will be available to the country," External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters here.He was asked about how the government proposes to acquire the manuscript after its auction by London-based Christie's was aborted yesterday following negotiations by the Indian mission."My ministry has decided to bring it back. We have talked to the person concerned," the minister said.Christie's had earlier fixed a reserve price of 9,000 to 12,000 pounds for Gandhiji's manuscript written on January 11, nineteen days before his assassination.The sale, which had been slated for today, was cancelled when the mission established that the ownership of the manuscript lies with the Ahmedabad-based Navjiwan Trust.
