Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi on January 27 denied that he had disrespected Mahatma Gandhi and stated he had the highest regard for him, and his teachings have been the beliefs of his life.

A bit of the media had sought to create an faulty impression that he was disrespectful in direction of the Father of the Nation, he stated.

In an announcement, Mr. Ravi stated some media homes cherry­picked from his speech on the 127th delivery anniversary of freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose on January 23 and twisted it.

To elaborate on Netaji’s important contributions to India’s independence that weren’t adequately appreciated, he then stated the revolts of the Royal Indian Navy and Air Force in February 1946, impressed by Netaji, had accelerated the method of independence.

Clarifying the factors he had made, the Governor stated the British had declared that they would depart India in March 1946 as they feared that they may not belief Indians in uniform.
