On Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary, the Congress party asserted that the true tribute to the father of the nation would be to not let the “flame of truth and harmony” be extinguished in the “storm of hatred”.
The party also said that those who glorify Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse should not and will not be allowed to define the idea of India.
In a post on ‘X’, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge cited a quote of Mahatma Gandhi, “The enemy is fear. We think it’s hate but it is fear.”
“The enemy is fear. We think it’s hate but it is fear.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
On #MartyrsDay, we pay our respects to Bapu — the moral compass of our nation.
We must pledge to fight against those who seek to destroy his ideals based on Sambhav and Sarvodaya.
Let us do everything… pic.twitter.com/7yNTIcVzV9

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram Tweeted On X
Today is Martyrs’ Day, the day on which Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated
Gandhi ji may have been killed but there are millions of Indians, especially ordinary Indians, who cherish his life and his teachings of love, harmony, fraternity and peace
These values are being challenged…
