Akshaya Mukul writes: Gita Press founders and Gandhi – a relationship turned sour

Akshaya Mukul writes: The figure of Gandhi bore the brunt of their belligerence since he was the only one who professed sanatan dharma, and yet kept his doors and windows open to progressive ideas. Gandhi’s constant evolution was the fly in the ointment.

The Centre's decision to confer the Gandhi Peace Prize 2021 on UP-based Gita Press on Sunday triggered a backlash from the Congress and a prompt rebuttal from BJP.Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the government for awarding the Gorakhpur-based publication, calling the decision "a travesty".He added that it is like awarding "Nathuram Godse or Veer Savarkar." Shortly after Ramesh's tweet, several BJP leaders launched an all-out attack on Congress.
