He said and the prime minister “feels shame" in praising Mahatma Gandhi even as both of them hail from Gujarat.Rahul Gandhi also took a dig at PM Modi referring to his educational qualification. He said, “Only a student of 'Entire Political Science' would need to watch the film to know about Mahatma Gandhi."Congress' Jairam Ramesh said, “I don't know in which world the outgoing prime minister lives where Mahatma Gandhi was not recognised across the world before 1982.
