00:00Those who are abusing Gandhi are the least interested in Gandhi.

00:05They don't know anything about Gandhi. They have never been bothered about Gandhi.

00:09But they are abusing Gandhi. There is a reason.

00:12They are trying to accomplish something and Gandhi stands in the way.

00:16Therefore, Gandhi has to be abused.

00:18Gandhi stands as a symbol of something that they are hell-bent on destroying.

00:24If you want to create a society that is deeply fractured on communal lines,

00:31then the symbol of communal harmony has to be disparaged.

00:35That's what is happening.

00:36Who is Gandhi? Gandhi is not some person really.

00:51There was a philosophy behind his actions.
