Taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) controversy, Mahatma Gandhi's great grandson Tushar Gandhi said that the government's decision to replace the picture of Father of the Nation seems to be like very thought out and was a well-planned strategy to gain credibility. Tushar said that this government is very prone in making mistakes, but this doesn't seem to be a mistake. He further added that ‘I appeal to the Prime Minister as he has become the mascot of most inefficient, incapable and insincere organisation to disband the KVIC’.
Emphasizing on the significance of charkha and Mahatma Gandhi's picture, he said that ‘the charkha that Bapu used to spin was the instrument for the production, empowerment of weak and poor and a weapon in the fight for our freedom. Bapu's khadi was the yarn of peace’. Meanwhile, the calendar never featured the picture of Father of the Nation, adding that there is no question of replacing Mahatma Gandhi's picture with that of PM Modi. In what came as a shock for many, Mahatma Gandhi's picture weaving khadi on a simple charkha, wearing his trademark cloth has been replaced by PM Modi's picture in the same classic pose as that of the former.
