Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump on Monday posted a quote on Instagram attributing it to Mahatma Gandhi, but the American media said there is no evidence that the Indian


leader had ever used these words. The Instagram post included a picture of hordes of supporters rallying at a Trump campaign stop in Alabama. Soon, the anti-Trump lobby was up in flames on


the social media. > There’s no record that Gandhi ever used the phrase, which has been > widely attributed to him. The Hill, top US political website The quotation appears to be


similar to words used in a 1918 trade union address by socialist leader Nicholas Klein, it said. Christian Science Monitor has put this among the top 10 political misquotes. There was no
