Furthermore, he said Prithviraj was killed by a Muslim ruler even though he didn't harm any Muslim rulers. Yati said, "All we do is praise him (Modi). If Modi continues, he will not have a place to cry in peace." He also criticized Mahatma Gandhi for fighting for the causes of Hindus. "This is the country which reveres Gandhi and abuses Nathuram Godse and Veer Savarkar. Until the mentality of the country changes, this will continue," he said.
