Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Mahatma Gandhi thought that politics and religion could never be separated because India is a religious country with many traditions and customs that are mostly based on faith. Gandhi thought that it would be impossible to keep politics and religion separate because they were both a part of everyday life in India. When Muhammad Ali Jinnah was able to split India into Pakistan based on race, religion, or anything else that wasn't religion, it proved that these comments were true. Gandhi thought, in a broad sense, that all religions are based on moral principles and ethics and that religion gives politics a moral sense. For Mahatma Gandhi, religion was a way to figure out how to act politically in a way that would help the people.
So, Gandhiji believed that religion and politics can never be separated.
