It is also a fact that the campaign to glorify Godse and demonise Gandhi has caught speed with the ascent of a right-wing government at the centre (since 2014).Remember how BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj stirred a huge controversy when he called Godse a nationalist and a patriot on the floor of the house. In October 2014, a Malayalam mouthpiece of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh had said that Nathuram Godse should have killed former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and not Gandhi. The writer was none other than a BJP leader who had contested Lok Sabha elections. Forget taking any action against this glorification of Godse, RSS tried, rather unsuccessfully, to distance itself from this article saying that it was his ‘private opinion’. We also know that moves are even afoot to build this “great patriot’s” temples all over the country. The Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, whose most prominent leader Savarkar was the main conspirator in Gandhi’s assassination (thanks to the painstaking investigation done by Jeevanlal Kapoor Commission), had made elaborate plans to establish Godse’s busts at different places in the country.
