Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju, known for stoking controversies by his statements is once again in the eye of the storm. Katju in his latest blog made a shocking remark on Father of the Nation Mahama Gandhi, saying he was a British agent and followed the politics of divide and rule.
“By constantly injecting religion into politics continuously for several decades, Gandhi furthered the British policy of divide and rule,” Katju wrote in his blog.
He also called Gandhi’s ideology of Satyagrah ‘nonsensical’.
“Gandhi successfully diverted the freedom struggle from this revolutionary direction to a harmless nonsensical channel called Satyagrah. This also served British interests,” he wrote.
Katju also claimed that Gandhi was against industrialization and preached hand spinning by charkha and other such reactionary nonsense.
“Gandhi’s economic ideas were thoroughly reactionary. He advocated self sufficient village communities, though everybody knows that these communities were totally casteist and in the grip of landlords and money lenders.Gandhi was against industrialization, and preached handspinning by charkha and other such reactionary nonsense,” he wrote.
Katju had been embroiled in controversies due to his Facebook posts. Recently he had said that film actresses should be sent in Parliament.
