About indirect speech:

• There are many rules that should be followed while changing a sentence from direct to reported form.
• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed. We should add 'that' instead.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly.
• But sometimes the tense within the quotations will not be changed. When we have 'says/ will say' outside the quotation mark, then the tense will be retained in reported form.
• The other case is when there is a universal truth inside the quotation marks, then the tense will not be changed.
• 'Truth is God' is a universal truth/ statement. Thus the statement will retain its tense in indirect form too.
• Therefore the answer is: Gandhiji said that truth is God.
