Sharing a video message about Mahatma Gandhi on social media, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said: "The British tried to threaten him. He was fearless. He was imprisoned. Three bullets were pumped into his chest, still, he was not frightened."
"On one side, you have Mahatma Gandhi, while on the other, you have Nathuram Godse. On one side, a brave, humble and simple man, but the man who believed in the future and India, propagated non-violence and searched for the truth, while on the other side, Godse, violent, angry, unable to face the reality of his own life.

"The reason he shot Mahatma Gandhi was that he could not face his life. So he had to take out his anger on somebody and he chose to take out his anger on the man who represented the essence of India," the LoP said. "Mahatma Gandhi is not only a man but the soul of India and is alive in every Indian," LoP Rahul Gandhi wrote on X. "The power of truth, non-violence and fearlessness can shake the roots of even the biggest empire – the entire world takes inspiration from his ideals. Hundreds of salutations to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma, our Bapu on his Martyrdom Day," his post in Hindi read.
Terming Mahatma Gandhi as the nation's guiding light, Congress President Kharge said "his ideas of 'Satya', 'Ahimsa', 'Sarvodaya' and 'Sarva Dharma' 'Sambhava' continue to light our path". Giving a call to protect the country's unity in diversity and ensuring justice and equality for everyone, Kharge said: "We must commit to fighting against those who want to destroy his ideals of equality and upliftment for all."
