The Centre’s decision to confer the Gandhi Peace Prize 2021 award on UP-based Gita Press on Sunday triggered a backlash from the Congress and a prompt rebuttal from BJP.Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the government for awarding the Gorakhpur-based publication, calling the decision “a travesty”.He added that it is like awarding “Nathuram Godse or Veer Savarkar.” Shortly after Ramesh’s tweet, several BJP leaders launched an all-out attack on Congress.
