'Mahatma Mandir' a "weird" name: Rajmohan Gandhi

January 30, 2015 21:48

Narendra Modi may have conceptualised 'Mahatma Mandir', the memorial to the Father of the Nation as a 'centre of inspiration', but Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Rajmohan Gandhi finds the name given to it "weird" and does not feel like going there.

"I have never been there because I don't feel that the word Mahatma Mandir is proper. It's a weird word and that's why I never felt like going there, I don't like it," Rajmohan Gandhi said at an event today to commemorate the martyrdom day of Mahatma Gandhi.

He was responding to a question from the audience on whether he liked the concept of 'Mahatma Mandir'.

'Mahatma Mandir' project was conceptualised by Prime Minister Modi when he was the chief minister of Gujarat as a tribute to the Father of the Nation in the state capital Gandhinagar to act as a 'centre of inspiration' for future generations.
