Katju’s latest claim: Mahatma Gandhi was a British agent

He had first made national headlines when he famously remarked that 90% Indians are idiots. He followed that up with his ‘gay marriages are unnatural’ remark and then his wish to see Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif as the next president of India. Justice Markandey Katju, known for his contentious take on issues, however has always anticipated uproar and public acrimony over his comments. But his latest comments might generate a little too much heat as he has now claimed in a personal blog post that Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation, was a British agent. “I submit that Gandhi was objectively a British agent who did great harm to India,” Justice Katju, former chairman of Press Council of India, writes after admitting that he is likely to be ‘vilified and denounced by many’ after the post.   Indian Express
