As the dust started to settle
over the uproar created by BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj by his controversial statement
on Godse where he called him a patriot, Hindu Mahasabha showed its intentions
of keeping the issue alive. Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha has given the
government of India an unsolicited advice of keeping Godse's statues at
different places in in the country.
The president of the Mahasabha,
Chandra Prasad Kaushik, has asked for a full length debate on the Gandhi-Godse
debate, he also wants the reasons given by Godse in the court during hi trial
should be made public.
"We are going to demand for
a place from the government for installation of the bust. If the government
fails to provide us with such a place then we will install it at our places. We
have Hindu Mahasabha, which has offices in various states. We will install the
busts there. We will write a letter to the government," Kaushik told the
media.
He vehemently denied the fact
that the entire nation sees Nathuram as a murderer. Kaushik is of the opinion
that there is a very big section of the population that see him as a patriot.
"The country should debate
this and there should be a survey done on this. If a selected few in the
country say that Gandhi was great and Godse was a murderer, we do not accept
this. The country's citizens have not said this. This was said by those who
were sitting in the government. The judge who sentenced Godse wrote a book
later in his life in which he stated that if people were made jury during that
period, then Godse would have been released," was Kaushik's vitriolic
statement.
Nathuram Godse shot Mahatma
Gandhi on 30th January 1948 in Delhi.
