Thiruvananthapuram, April 02: Sangh Parivar today called for a social boycott of the controversial book on Mahatma Gandhi by former Editor of New York Times Joseph Lelyveld in which it is said the Father of the Nation was a bisexual.
RSS ideologue and Bharatheeya Vichara Kendram Director P Parameswaran, in a press release here, said ”the book deserves to be socially boycotted, because the disparaging remarks on Gandhi’s sexual life are not only untrue but also dangerous.” ”Gandhiji’s life was a long experiment with Truth. He has named his autobiography ‘My Experiment with Truth,” in which he had not hesitated to expose all his weaknesses, including his sexual attitude,” he said.
”That being the case, if there is an iota of truth in Lelyveld’s ‘Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and his Struggle with India,’ Gandhiji would not have kept it out of his biography.,” he added.
