New Delhi:
As the nation mourned Bapu’s 30th death annivesary, there was an outfit known as 'Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha' which 'celebrated' the day. The organisation, which is a radical right wing organisation, danced on Bollywood songs and distributed sweets outside its office in UP’s Meerut.
As per a report published in national English daily, the top officials of the organisation said that the day is like a festival for them.
The outfit also hailed Nathuram Godse at Mahatma’s death anniversary.
“We celebrate the fact that this country’s hero Nathuram Godse eliminated Gandhi on this very day in 1948. Every year we distribute sweets, hire professional bands and invite people to dance to express our happiness at Gandhi’s killing,” The Hindu quoted a senior official as saying.
“We do not believe in the idea of a secular Constitution. When India officially declares itself a Hindu Rashtra, Godse will be declared its hero and Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination would be declared a national festival,” Sharma further added.
