THE cultural cell of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee on Wednesday condemned the tweet of actor Rishi Kapoor and questioned the naming of important places in the country after the Gandhis.
Vikas Patil, president of the cultural cell of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, in a release said, “Actor Rishi Kapoor has tweeted that why many important places in India are named after Gandhis, as if these places are like fathers properties. Before making such defamatory statement about Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, Rishi Kapoor should have found time to study history of India and freedom struggle.”
Patil said, “We respect art and culture and also great artists. But all Gandhis have sacrificed their lives for this nation, to protect the hard-fought freedom, its unity.”
