Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his 78th death anniversary and claimed that the Sangh Parivar was still afraid of him and his memory and that is why his name was removed from the rural employment guarantee scheme.

Vijayan, in a Facebook post, said that Gandhi was killed because of his uncompromising stance on secularism and his vision of a pluralistic India that embraces diversity and disagreement.

He claimed that the Sangh Parivar was afraid of the memory of the Father of the Nation and hence his name was removed from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.

“Why are they still afraid of Gandhiji? The answer is simple. Gandhiji’s life and vision are the exact opposite of the politics of hatred and alienation envisioned by the Sangh Parivar,” the CM contended.
He further claimed that the Sangh Parivar was trying to remove Gandhi from the lives of the ordinary people. Vijayan said that unity in diversity was “the foundation stone of the Indian Republic” and everyone should be committed to protecting it from the “totalitarian tendencies that suppress dissent”.
He claimed that there were certain forces which were trying to “rewrite history and elevate communal murderers as heroes” in order to lead the country towards totalitarianism. –
