Gandhi clarified that BJP and Modi are not representatives of the entire Hindu society.
"The PM says that (Mahatma) Gandhi is dead and Gandhi was revived by a movie. Can you understand the ignorance?… Another thing I noticed is that it is not just one religion that talks about courage. All religions talk about courage," he said.
