Congress in Kerala condemns Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on Mahatma Gandhi
The Congress in Kerala on June 1 termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent remarks about Mahatma Gandhi as "highly condemnable" and said it amounted to disrespecting the 'Father of the Nation'.
Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala demanded that Mr. Modi withdraw his statement and apologise to the people.
The Prime Minister, in a recent interview to a TV channel, had said that the "world did not know of Mahatma Gandhi till the film Gandhi was made".
Mr. Chennithala, also the former Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, claimed that disrespect towards Gandhi is going on in the country.
"Narendra Modi's statement about Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, is highly condemnable. Was Gandhi recognised the world over only after the film Gandhi was made? Anywhere in the world you go, you will find a statue of Gandhi or a road named after him. No one else in the world has so many monuments dedicated to him except for Mahatma Gandhi. What he (Mr. Modi) said is actually disrespect towards Gandhi. Mr. Modi should withdraw it and apologise to the people," the Congress leader said.
Mr. Chennithala alleged that what can be understood from the Prime Minister’s statement was that he is still “in the grip of (Nathuram) Godse’s ghost”.
"Narendra Modi, who is travelling on the path of Godse, will not only make such statements, but much worse than that," he alleged and asked, "Is the BJP ready to stop disrespecting Gandhi?"
