Mahatma Gandhi was never formally conferred the title of Father of the Nation by the government. This was stated by the Home Ministry in reply to an RTI query.
"Although Mahatma Gandhi is popularly known as Father of the Nation, no such title was ever formally conferred upon him by the government," Shyamala Mohan, Director and Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), said in a reply dated June 18 this year.
The query was filed by social activist Abhishek Kadyan with the Home Ministry on May 21, 2012 seeking information about declaration of Mahatma Gandhi as Father of the Nation. Abhishek Kadyan is an advisor to Italy based animal rights NGO OIPA.
