In another incident, Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi, who was allegedly detained as he was on his way to mark Quit India Day in Mumbai, said he wanted to thank the government for having shown him the “same respect as was given to Bapu” who raised his voice against the British, news agency ANI reported.
According to a police official, Tushar Gandhi was stopped from taking part in a rally at Santacruz for which permission was denied, PTI reported. However, later he was allowed to go to the August Kranti Maidan.
Speaking to ANI after having been detained, Tushar Gandhi said, “I was detained this morning at 7:00 am and police said that our 'Shanti Yatra' was a threat to law and order...I was there for three hours...In 1942, Bapu and then Baa were arrested to raise their voice against the British. I want to thank the government for giving me the same respect by detaining me today...They said that law and order was in danger because of our rally. We aren't terrorists.”
