Delhi: Had to learn about Gandhi from Attenborough's film: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday criticised the Congress, claiming that the world did not know Mahatma Gandhi before Richard Attenborough made the film 'Gandhi' in 1982. In an interview to a news TV channel, Modi claimed that Mahatma Gandhi was the country's greatest genius but the world did not know about him. Was it not the country's responsibility that Mahatma Gandhi got recognition on the world stage in the last 75 years? He said, “Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest soul in the world. Was it not our duty to tell the world about Mahatma Gandhi in the last 75 years? No one in the world knew the Mahatma. I am sorry, but I have to say that the world became curious to know Gandhi for the first time after the film 'Gandhi' was made.

Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi because of the environment created by them.' The 2024 election is a fight between Mahatma Gandhi devotees and Godse devotees.
