Indor, Nov 16: Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha leaders on Wednesday organized a special yagna in memory saffron terrorist Nathuram Godse who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation and symbol of non violence.
The Mahasabha members gathered at Arya Samaj temple on jail road early in the morning and 'paid tributes' to Godse to commemorate his death anniversary.
Mahasabha state general secretary Jitendra Singh Thakur said the day was celebrated as 'Balidan Diwas' to commemorate the “martyrdom” of Godse. "It is an attempt to expose the minority appeasement policy that was instigated by Gandhi," he said.
Thakur claimed that it was under pressure of Gandhi that Pakistan was carved out of India. Today, the neighbouring nation is conspiring against us, he alleged.
The event evoked strong reaction from the Congress camp, which claimed that the yagna in the name of a terrorist exposes the true face of Hindutva organisations.
"Gandhiji had always preached non-violence. He got us freedom. Believers of twisted ideology assassinated him," Congress local leader Pramod Tandon told reporters.
People believing in the same ideology have now surfaced during the BJP rule and are showing their true colours by describing the day as Balidan Diwas, he said adding people understand their antics and will give a befitting reply.
Mangaluru, Jan 11: Reacting to the recent video clippings provided to the media by former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy in connection with the December 19 unrest in Mangaluru, city Police Commissioner Dr PS Harsha on Saturday said that the video has to be seen in a proper sequence to come to a conclusion on the happenings of that day.
