Sadhvi Prachi Arya, a prominent Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader, has said that the Father of the Nation title to Mahatma Gandhi was “unwarranted”.
“The title of the Father of Nation to Gandhi was unwarranted because the true sacrifice for attaining freedom was carried out by others,” she said.
“The credit for India’s independence was wrongly attributed to Gandhi when it should have been given to Vir Savarkar and Bhagat Singh,” she said.
Sadhavi said the VHP would also continue its movement to ensure increase in the population of Hindus in India which had been steadily declining compared to others.
