THE MAN WHO KILLED "FATHER OF NATION" IS NOW "GOD OF NATION".

A temple for Nathuram Godse: Hindu Mahasabha lays foundation stone in Gwalior office.

Gwalior district administration's refusal to permit construction of a temple in the name of Mahatma Gandhi's killer Nathuram Godse has not stopped Hindu Mahasabha from laying the foundation stone for the same.
The foundation stone was laid in Hindu Mahasabha's Daulatganj office area. A statue has already been put up in the office to which floral tributes were paid today.
Nathuram Godse who was convicted for killing the father of the nation was hanged to death on November 15, 1949 and his supporters observed the day as 'sacrifice day.'

The Hindu Maha Sabha had earlier applied for land for a temple that they proposed to build in the name of Nathuram Godse. The application for the land was rejected by the district administration.
According to Jaiveer Bhardwaj of the Maha Sabha, a decision to construct the temple in the Daulatganj area has been taken after the district administration rejected its application for land for the same.
Madhya Pradesh leader of opposition Ajay Singh has hit out at Chief Minister Shivraj Singh alleging that the government was providing tacit support to the killers of the father of the nation. "The chief Minister has the name of Mahatma Gandhi on his lips but in his heart he has Godse. How else is it possible that the supporters of Godse are openly laying a foundation stone for a temple in his name," Ajay Singh, in a written communication issued to the press, said.
