Raipur: Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, "Subhas Chandra Bose's views were different from Mahatma Gandhi, they had ideological differences, but through the radio from Rangoon, he called Mahatma Gandhi the father of the nation."
He said that we do not know that what was the purpose of Kalicharan behind this. There is a need to divide people in the name of religion. Jinnah and Savarkar are not responsible for the partition of the country.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said that we will not allow the society of Nehru and Gandhi to be fragmented. The police of Chhattisgarh deserves to be congratulated for nabbing such a person and presenting him before the court.
Meanwhile, a court in Chhatisgarh's Raipur district on Friday sent hardline religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj into judicial custody till January 13 over his remarks against Mahatma Gandhi. The police produced him in the court a day ahead of the expiry of his police remand.
He was sent on police remand on Thursday for two days.
The next hearing in the case will be on January 3.
Earlier, in the two-day Dharm Sansad held in Raipur, Kalicharan had said objectionable words about Mahatma Gandhi thus an FIR was lodged against Kalicharan at Tikrapara police station.
