January 30, 2016

Meerut, Jan 30: Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha celebrated Mahatma Gandhi's assassination by distributing sweets on his death anniversary on January 30 at its Meerut office on Saturday. Workers of the Hindutva group danced to the tunes of drum and Bollywood songs outside its office.This comes days after its workers observed Republic Day as 'black day' and protested against the Indian Constitution.

"We celebrate the fact that this country's hero Nathuram Godse eliminated Gandhi on this very day in 1948. Every year we distribute sweets, hire professional bands and invite people to dance to express our happiness at Gandhi's killing," said Pandit Ashok Sharma, national vice president of Hindu Mahasabha.

Pandit Sharma, a man in his late seventies told this correspondent that Hindutva activists treated January 30, the day Gandhiji was killed, as a "festival".

He proudly declared that India is a "Hindu Rashtra" and Godse should be its "hero" and not Gandhiji.

At the occasion he also eulogised and paid homage to Nathuram Godse, the "martyr" who "wanted to save India from Gandhi and from his proposal of partition."

Pandit Sharma, an old associate of Hindu Mahasbaha argued that Gandhiji had no followers and the entire country was follower of Nathuram Godse.

"In reality Gandhi has no followers in the country he thought he fought for. Entire India is actually inspired by the ideas of Nathuram Godse. You tell me who extends his/her next cheek after being slapped, as Gandhi asked people to do?" He proudly posed the question to this correspondent in order to substantiate his argument.

Last year, Hindu Mahasabha was ready with a statue of Godse to build a temple for him on January 30 at its offices across the country. It organised "bhumi pujan" for the temple but the respective state governments sealed the offices to prevent the Hindutva body from installing the statue last year.

Like Sharma, Bharat Rajput the district president of the Hindutva body, is also an old Hindu Mahasabha hand who has been "actively taking up Hindutva causes."

Mr. Rajput had a piece of news for the Government of India. "We wanted to install a bust of Nathuram Godse in our offices so that his followers can come and pay homage to him. I want to tell the government that one day we will build the temple for Godse and nobody can stop us," he said.

For both Pandit Sharma and Mr. Rajput the larger goal is to "officially declare" India a "Hindu Rashtra".

"We do not believe in the idea of a secular Constitution. When India officially declares itself a Hindu Rashtra, Godse will be declared its hero and Gandhi's assassination would be declared a national festival," Pandit Sharma said.

Hi,

what is going on in India and what is the govt/police doing there ,no action still.

They should punished and this organistation should be banned .

NOW HINDU MAHASABHA IS SHOWING ITS TRUE FACE.

\KILLERS OF MAHATHMA GANDHI\"

FROM WHICH ANGLE GODSE FOUGHT WITH BRITISH, INSTEAD RSS AND OTHER OUTFITS WERE SLEEPING UNDER THE COMMAND OF BRITISH RAJ."

It's the Hindu Maha Sabha who projected the two (separate)national theory years before Jinna raise his voice for Pakistan.

Without the blessings of NAMO this glorification for a assassinator of father of nation is not possible. What the RSS and Hindu Mahasabha has contributed for freedom of India every body knows.

For Sangh Parivar, only opposition to hanging of Yaqoob Memon is anti-national.

Something wrong is happening. In the world the IS. In India people like Hindu Saba. Let us prayto God for making people more human.Ghandiji is the modal for Indians. He is the great.

Hindu Mahasabha is hailing a terrorist as hero and martyr and no one is calling it anti-national. Why this discrimination? PM giving support to them?

Sorry to hear this happening in India. Its all happening because of non available Feku PM

BJP workers raise ‘Go to Pakistan’ slogan in college as part of pro-CAA campaign

News Network

January 9,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 9: Some BJP workers created a ruckus on Wednesday at a college here while seeking support for the amended Citizenship Act by raising slogans like 'Go back to Pakistan' outside the campus on Wednesday, as girl students opposed a pro-CAA banner on the wall of their institution.

A video of the incident went viral on social media.

A group of BJP workers, supporters of local party leader M M Govindaraj, had put up a poster "India Supports CAA" on the wall of Jyothi Nivas College near Koramangala.

This was opposed by girl students, who said they would not allow any such poster to be put up on the college property.

The BJP workers then tried to shout down the students.

"You are not concerned about citizenship, you are concerned about yourself. You should be concerned about India first. You are not an Indian then," a BJP worker is heard screaming at the girls in the video.

They also questioned the students if they had valid reasons to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act and sought to know whether they wanted an argument or a debate.

The BJP workers purportedly told the girls that they were only the students of the college and not the owner.

"What's your problem madam with the CAA? Are you the owner of the college?" they asked.

Amid the heated argument, the BJP workers resorted to sloganeering like 'We want CAA' and "Go back to Pakistan', as seen in another video shot by the students.

BTM Layout Congress MLA Ramalinga Reddy visited the college on Thursday after learning about the incident and spoke to its management.

Later, he told reporters that the campus should not be allowed for any political activities.

"Any signature campaign whether in favor or against it (CAA) should be done outside the campus," Reddy said.

He cautioned the pro-CAA protesters he will not let any violent incidents like the one at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi happen at the city college.

Reddy's daughter Sowmya Reddy, who is the Jayanagar MLA, tweeted, "A few videos & photos of outside #JyotiNivascollege are being circulated on social media."

"MLA Ramalinga Reddy & I have spoken to cops and the Prinicipal about this incident. Spoke to DCP South East Bengaluru and she said that Koramangala cops went there immediately & they are picketing even now," she added.
