VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi
on 18 March sparked another controversy as she alleged that Mahatma
Gandhi was a “British agent” and his contribution towards independence
of the country was “negligible”, days after former PCI chairman
Markandey Katju levelled same allegation.
“It was only due to sole effort of
Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Ram Prashad Bismil and Subhash
Bose that India was freed from the clutches of Britishers,” she
told reporters at a hotel on the occasion Hindu Dharam Sammelan here.
“Gandhian ways of protests and hunger
strikes were worthless in achieving freedom,” the VHP leader said,
adding that Bismil (Ram Prasad) was hanged while Gandhi was busy with
his ‘Charkha’ and spinning cotton.
Justice Katju recently wrote in his blog that Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation, was a British agent.
Speaking on the issue of Ram Mandir, she
said it already existed there at Ayodhya and VHP will endeavor to built
it with magnificence.
She added that those who cannot chant
‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and ‘Vandematram’, indulge in slaughter of cow,
insult our tri-colour are not entitled to live in India.
Yesterday in Bahraich she had said those having more than two children should be barred from casting votes.
