Mahatma Gandhi’s Thoughts Cannot Be Imprisoned; Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi's remarks came after Hindu religious leaders sang paeans to Nathuram Godse

New Delhi: Slamming the remarks made against Mahatma Gandhi at a function in Raipur, today Congress leader Rahul Gandhi quoted the Father of the Nation that his thoughts cannot be imprisoned.

Rahul Gandhi's remarks came after a section of Hindu religious leaders sang paeans to Nathuram Godse, at a religious congregation in Raipur on Sunday.

Rahul Gandhi said quoting Mahatma Gandhi, “You can chain me, torture me, you can destroy this body, but you cannot imprison my thoughts.”

During the conclusion of 'dharma sansad' in Raipur, Hindu religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj had used an "abusive" word against Mahatma Gandhi and asked people to elect a staunch Hindu leader as the head of the government in order to protect the religion.

Earlier, controversial UP priest Yati Narsinghananda Giri had praised Nathuram Godse as the real symbol of truth and religion.
