Criticism of PM Modi's remarks on Mahatma Gandhi by Congress leaders, highlighting Gandhi's global recognition and legacy.
The Congress on Wednesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that the "world did not know of Mahatma Gandhi till the film 'Gandhi' was made" and said those whose "ideological ancestors" were involved in Gandhi's assassination can never follow the path of truth shown by him.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said in a post in Hindi on X, "Now the lie is about to pack its bags and go."
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, "I don't know in which world the outgoing prime minister lives where Mahatma Gandhi was not recognised across the world before 1982. If anyone has destroyed the legacy of the Mahatma, it is the outgoing prime minister himself.
"His own government has destroyed Gandhian institutions in Varanasi, Delhi and Ahmedabad," the Congress leader alleged.
Former party president Rahul Gandhi said that those who follow Nathuram Godse's path of violence cannot understand Gandhi.
"Those whose ideological ancestors along with Nathuram Godse were involved in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, can never follow the path of truth given by Bapu.
In a video message, Mr. Rahul Gandhi said, "Those who get their world view in 'Shakhas' cannot understand Gandhi ji, they understand Godse and follow Godse's path."
