This reply tweet personifies how Gandhi-bashing has become fashionable in recent times. The ideals of tolerance and acceptance are somehow seen as weaknesses; the concepts of truth and nonviolence viewed with a certain degree of contempt as somehow being outdated or unrealistic.
If there were tweets in support of the FM’s tweet, there were these as well; an indictment of what is seen as a recent attempt to manipulate history, present fake as fact. Many pointed out that the attitude of the current dispensation seems to point to their insecurity with the fact that there was no visible contribution to the freedom struggle from their ideological parent organisations.
