Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the father of New India, Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has said that there are two Rashtra Pitas in the country. We have two fathers of the nation’. Banker and singer Amrita said during a mock court interview that Narendra Modi is the father of new India and Mahatma Gandhi is the father of the nation of yesteryear. Along with the opposition Congress, Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi also reacted strongly to his statement.
Amruta Fadnavis has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the father of New India
The President’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi in his response said that he and the RSS whose orders he was obeying. They are welcome to declare Modi the father of New India. In any case, Bapu would have disapproved of the India of the present day more than the India of the past. The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly should bring and pass a resolution formally declaring Narendra Modi as the Father of Manuvadi Hindu Rashtra Bharat.
Congress leader and former Maharashtra minister Yashomati Thakur also pulled up the senior BJP leader’s wife over the remarks. People following the ideology of BJP and RSS keep trying to kill Gandhiji again and again. Thakur said they keep doing such acts as they are obsessed with changing history by repeating lies and defaming great people like Gandhiji.
In the mock court interview (Abhirup Court), Amrita was asked about calling Modi the father of the nation last year. The interviewer asked him that if Modi is the father of the nation, then who is Mahatma Gandhi. Amrita replied that Mahatma Gandhi is the father of the nation and Modi is the father of New India. We have two fathers of the nation. She said that Narendra Modi is the father of the nation of new India and Mahatma Gandhi is the father of the nation of that (earlier) era.
Amruta’s remarks came after Bhagat Singh Koshyari faced flak
Amrita’s comments come days after Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari faced criticism from the opposition over his remarks about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. After he was pulled up by the opposition for his remarks on the Maratha warrior king, Koshyari had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah clarifying his stand and clarified that he would never even imagine disrespecting such symbols .
I cannot even in my dreams imagine insulting great men like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap and Shri Guru Gobind Singh. Koshyari has said in a letter to Shah that you know that if I have made any mistake unknowingly, I do not hesitate to express regret or apologize immediately. The letter came amid demands from the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance that Koshyari should be removed from his post for insulting Shivaji Maharaj.
