In a thinly veiled attack at the government, the Congress Party on Friday said U.S. President Barack Obama was preaching Gandhi to people who have internalised the soul of Nathuram Godse.
"President Obama is preaching Gandhi to those people who have internalised the soul of Nathuram Godse. It is like trying to preach to people who have already crossed the zenith of intolerance," Congress leader Manish Tewari told ANI.
"And, it is good very early in the day that President Barack Obama has also discovered the reality of the government," he added.
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday said the acts of intolerance experienced by religious faiths of all types in India in the past few years would have shocked Mahatma Gandhi.
He, however, did not name any particular religion and said the violence is not unique to one group or one religion.
In an address at New Delhi's Siri Fort auditorium on January 27, during the last leg of his India trip, Obama had made a strong pitch for religious tolerance, cautioning that India will succeed so long as it is not splintered along the lines of religious faith.
