Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi on January 27 denied that he had disrespected Mahatma Gandhi and said he had the highest regard for him, and his teachings were the ideals of his life.
A section of the media had sought to create an erroneous impression that he was disrespectful towards the Father of the Nation, he said.
In a statement, Mr. Ravi said some media houses cherrypicked from his speech at the 127th birth anniversary of freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose on January 23 and twisted it.
