He said that on Gandhi’s birth anniversary, everyone should take a pledge to revive India from a shameful situation, where the person holding the highest office is releasing a stamp and commemorative coin on the centenary of the RSS movement, which gave shape to the dreams of the communalist who assassinated the father of our nation.”
“Whenever seeds of hatred are sown among people and divisive forces rise, he is the source of strength that continually gives us the power to resist them,” Stalin added.
