**on Sunday paid homage to the ‘apostle of peace’**
OK, politically speaking, he used pacifism as a tool.
“Pacifism should not be used to justify ones own cowardnice. To be a Pacifist is honorable, to be a coward and claim to be a pacifist, is despicable.” ——Mohatmi Ghandi.

Ghandi, MLK, Hussein, Alinsky. Overrated community organizers.
He used non-violence...not pacifism. The British refused to leave India on the pretext that they were benign, and morally superior. Mahatma Gandhi used non-violence to show them otherwise.
