On the 74th death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that wherever truth is, the father of the nation is still there.

"A Hindutvawadi shot Gandhiji. All Hindutvavadis feel that Gandhiji is no more. But, where there is truth, Bapu is still alive there!" the Wayanad MP tweeted (roughly translated from Hindi).
