In a heated political exchange, Goa Congress President Amit Patkar stirred controversy with allegations against the BJP on Gandhi Jayanti.
On October 2, Patkar accused the BJP of celebrating the centenary of an organization supposedly connected to Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, an assertion vehemently denied by the BJP.
The ruling party condemned Patkar's remarks as false and demanded an immediate apology, arguing that historical and legal inquiries exonerate the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh from any involvement in Gandhi's murder.
