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.
