Prime Minister Narendra Modi was interviewed by three ABP journalists<\/a> — Romana Isar Khan (news anchor, ABP), Rohit Singh Saval (output editor, ABP News) and Suman De (senior vice-president, ABP Ananda) on May 28, 2024.<\/p>\n

At the 1.05.31-minute<\/a> mark in the conversation, Modi was asked about the Opposition’s absence in the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony and whether their decision would have an impact on the election results. In reply, the PM criticized the Opposition saying they could not come out of a mentality of servitude. He then went on to add, “Mahatma Gandhi was a great man. Wasn’t it our responsibility in these 75 years to make sure that the world knew Mahatma Gandhi? Nobody knows Mahatma Gandhi. It was only when the ‘Gandhi’ film was made that the world was curious to know who this man was. We haven’t done it. It was our responsibility. If the world knows Martin Luther King, if the world knows the South African leader Nelson Mandela (the interviewers prompt the name before Modi repeats it), Gandhi was no less than them. You have to accept this. I am saying this after travelling across the globe…”<\/strong><\/p>\n
