Police will take appropriate action against right-wing activist Sambhaji Bhide for his alleged objectionable remarks against Gandhiji, said Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday, and asserted that the insult of the Mahatma will not be tolerated.

Bhide was booked by Rajapeth police in Amravati a day earlier for allegedly commenting on the lineage of Gandhiji while addressing an event there on Thursday.
