Right Wing Twitter users trend 'Nathuram Godse Amar Rahe' on birth anniversary of Gandhi's killer
New Delhi: Right-Wing Twitter users on Wednesday were posting tweets hailing the killer of Mahatma Gandhi, Nathuram Godse to mark his birth anniversary. Godse was born on May 19, 1910, in Baramati.
Right-Wing netizens tweeted with hashtag #नाथूराम_गोडसे_अमर_रहें
The Twitter campaign nearly had 25,000 votes at the time of posting this report. While some users hailed him as a hero, others called him a legend.
Several users also criticized Mahatma Gandhi and his policies to justify Godse’s crime.
Godse, a Hindu nationalist from Pune, who believed Gandhi to have favored the political demands of India's Muslims during the partition of India, plotted the assassination with Narayan Apte and six others.
After a trial that lasted over a year, Godse was sentenced to death on 8 November 1949. Although pleas for commutation were made by Gandhi's two sons, Manilal Gandhi and Ramdas Gandhi, they were turned down by India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Deputy Prime Minister Vallabhbhai Patel, and the Governor-General C. Rajagopalachari. Godse was hanged in the Ambala Central Jail on 15 November 1949.
Godse was an RSS and Hindu Mahasabha activist ever since he dropped out of high school.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
