It’s between Mahatma’s India & Godse’s India, retorts Rahul

New Delhi, March 11

The choice is between Mahatma Gandhi's India and Nathuram Godse's India with love on one hand and hate on the other, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi told his party's booth workers here today.

Attacking PM Narendra Modi, Gandhi flayed him on a host of issues — Rafale deal, Doklam, employment generation, national security and the alleged agrarian distress.

“You have to decide... Gandhiji was fearless, stayed in jail for years, but spoke with the British with love, while (Veer) Savarkar wrote letters to the British apologising and asking to be let off,” he said.

On national security, he said 40 CRPF personnel were killed in Pulwama attack carried out by JeM, whose chief Masood Azhar was released from jail by the BJP. "Two of our PMs were martyred. We don't bow before anyone."

Gandhi also the PM spoke for an hour-and-a-half in Parliament, but could not answer four questions on Rafale. "He talked about Congress, Rajiv Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, but did not utter Anil Ambani's name."

He said Modi kept talking about Make in India, but his shirts, shoes and phone, with which he took selfies, were made in China.

Taking on the PM over his China policy, Gandhi claimed the Chinese PM gave a "clear message to the PM that I know you, you are a weak person, I will send the Chinese army to Doklam and you cannot do anything". Modi bowed before China and offered a truce, he claimed. — PTI
