The Congress on Wednesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reflections that the” world didn’t know of Mahatma Gandhi till the film’ Gandhi’ was made” and said those whose” ideological ancestors” were involved in Gandhi’s assassination can noway follow the path of verity shown by him.
Congress general clerk Jairam Ramesh said,” I do not know in which world the gregarious high minister lives where Mahatma Gandhi wasn’t recognised across the world before 1982. still, it’s the gregarious high minister himself, If anyone has destroyed the heritage of the Mahatma.
” His own government has destroyed Gandhian institutions in Varanasi, Delhi and Ahmedabad,” the Congress leader contended Former party chairman Rahul Gandhi said that those who follow Nathuram Godse’s path of violence can not understand Gandhi.
” Those whose ideological ancestors along with Nathuram Godse were involved in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, can noway follow the path of verity given by Bapu.” Now the taradiddle is about to pack its bags and go,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said in a post in Hindi onX.
In a videotape communication, Rahul Gandhi said,” Those who get their world view in’ Shakhas’ can not understand Gandhi ji, they understand Godse and follow Godse’s path.”
” Gandhi ji was an alleviation to the entire world. Martin Luther King Junior, Nelson Mandela and Albert Einstein were all inspired by Gandhi. Crores of people in India follow Gandhi’s path of verity andnon-violence. This is the fight between verity and untruth, between violence andnon-violence.
” Those who are violent and untrue neither understandnon-violence nor verity,” he said in the videotape before Mahatma Gandhi’s statue in Delhi. In a post on X, he also said,” Mahatma Gandhi is the sun which gave strength to the entire world to fight against darkness.”
” In the form of verity andnon-violence, Bapu showed the world a path that gives courage to indeed the weakest person to stand up against injustice. He doesn’t need any’ shakha educated’ instrument,” the former Congress chief said in his post in Hindi.
He also took a swipe at the high minister, saying,” Only a pupil of’ Entire Political wisdom’ would need to watch the film to know about Mahatma Gandhi.”
” This is the identity of the RSS workers that they don’t know the nationalism of Mahatma Gandhi. It’s due to the terrain created by their testament that Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi, Ramesh said in his post onX.
” The 2024 election has taken place between Mahatma bhakts and Godse bhakts. The defeat of the gregarious high minister and his Godse bhakt companions is egregious,” Ramesh said.
Congress general clerk, organisation, K C Venugopal said Mahatma Gandhi is the topmost icon of ultramodern history in the world and indeed before Independence, he was a miracle that every colonised country respected and looked to for alleviation.
” Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, who Modi appertained to in his ludicrous statement, were inspired by Gandhi himself.” To suppose that a movie was needed to popularise India’s topmost study leader since the Buddha isn’t only ignorant but also an personality to Bapu,” Venugopal said in a post onX.
Congress general clerk Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that she heard from PM Modi that no bone knew Mahatma Gandhiji until an Englishman made a film on him.” Not only did the whole world know him, the freedom movements of numerous countries were also inspired by him.
” It’s surprising to know that the high minister knows so little about the history of his country and the icons of the freedom movement. maybe for them, Gandhiji is also just a PR trick,” she said in a post in Hindi onX. Congress leader P Chidambaram said he was floored by the high minister’s comment.
” Has Mr Modi heard of the name Albert Einstein? Does Mr Modi know what Albert Einstein said of Mahatma Gandhi? Did Albert Einstein( failed 1955) know about Mahatma Gandhi only after the film’ Gandhi’ was released( 1982),” he asked.
Prime Minister Modi in a television interview to a television channel said,”. Across the world, Mahatma Gandhi was a great person. Was it not our responsibility in these 75 times to insure that the entire world knows Mahatma Gandhi. I’m sorry to say that no bone knows about him.
” The first time when the film’ Gandhi’ was made, it was also that there was curiosity across the world as to who this person was. We haven’t done so.”
” It was the task of this country to insure that if the world knows about Martin Luther King, South Africa’s Nelson Mandela ji, also Gandhi was no less. One has to agree and I’m saying this after travelling across the world that India should have got that significance due to Mahatma Gandhi.
” The result to a lot of problems of the world lies in Gandhi. We’ve lost alot.,” PM Modi said in his interview.
