The followers of those who had murdered Gandhi are now attempting to destroy the constitutional values of secularism, social justice, equality and brotherhood, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on August 15.
The British imperialists were the first to use communalism to divide the people of India, as this could take away their unity in the freedom struggle, he recalled.
“The reason for communalists assassinating Gandhi was the ideals of Hindu-Muslim unity and tolerance that he held on to strongly. Our freedom struggle brought together people from all walks of life. The British imperialists nurtured communalism to break this unity,” he said.
