Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Politics and religion cannot be separated, according to Gandhiji. In that statement, he did not mean any specific religion, such as Islam or Hinduism, but rather the moral principles that underlie all religions. He thought that ethical principles derived from religion should govern politics. There are followers of several religions in many nations, including India. As a result, political discourse frequently reflects religious diversity. Politics may and perhaps should incorporate beliefs, ideas, and values from several religions as long as all religions are treated equally. As members of a religious community, people should be able to express their needs, interests, and demands in politics. Politicians should occasionally have the authority to control religious activity to prevent discrimination.
The correct statement is Gandhiji meant by religion was the ethics and morals of religion, not the religion itself.
