Mahatma Gandhi and
Indian National Congress
The Chief Minister of TamilNadu used the book, titled “The
Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi – Volume 90”, published by the Union ministry
of information and broadcasting in 1984.
This incident occurred when a Congress member demanded proof
for a statement regarding Mahatma Gandhi’s advice to disband Congress party
after Independence.
The next day Tamil Nadu Chief Minister brought the book, “The
Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi-Volume 90”, and read out the following few
line to prove the above point. “Though split into two, India having attained political
independence through means devised by the Indian National Congress, the
Congress in its present shape and form, that is, as a propaganda vehicle and
parliamentary machine, had outlived its use.”
The CM also said that the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
had written the forward in the book, “Mahatma Gandhi himself has said in his writings
that the Congress has expired.”
