Tushar Gandhi, the great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, has attacked the Maharastra government for not mentioning the name of the Father of the Nation in its circular regarding a two-minutes silence to be observed on his death anniversary tomorrow.
Tushar, in a couple of tweets, expressed his annoyance over the matter, asking that "why the ideology that murdered Bapu will commemorate it?"
"Maha Govt circular regarding 2 min silence tomorrow does not mention Gandhi Punyatithee. I'to pay homage to martyrs of freedom movement," he tweeted.
