Meerut villagers to move PMO against Godse temple - The Hindu
The controversy over the Hindu Mahasabha’s plan to build a temple for Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, took an interesting turn on Sunday when thousands of villagers resolved at a rally that they would not allow the temple to come up.

The development comes a day after civil society activists sought to counter the Mahasabha’s “propaganda” against Mahatma Gandhi and the historical facts about his assassination. The villagers also decided to approach the Prime Minister’s Office.

UPNS to hold mahapanchayat against 'Godse temple' Sunday | Zee News

Saturday, January 3, 2015

Meerut: Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena (UPNS) has convened a mahapanchayat of 40 villages on Sunday in protest against the construction of a "temple" dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse.


The mahapanchayat will be held at Rohta, 20 kms from here, UPNS national president Amit Jani said here.

"All those who oppose the construction of Godse temple are invited to the mahapanchayat," he said.

Recently, activists of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) had allegedly performed a ceremony here for construction of a "temple" dedicated to Godse, following which the administration ordered a probe into the matter.

Jani said UPNS will also hold a non-violent protest at ABHM's office at Sharada road where the temple is likely to be constructed.

"The members will also go on a hunger strike on that day," he said.

UPNS on December 28 had said that they will not let a temple dedicated to Godse be constructed in the district.

To counter the ‘Gandhiji vs Godse’ debate by Hindutva groups, Gandhians and civil society activists launched the “ Gandhi hum sharminda hain (Gandhi, we are ashamed)” campaign in Meerut on Saturday.

While launching the campaign at the Gandhi statue in Meerut, Faisal Khan of Khudai Khidmatgar said civil society could not afford to remain “silent” in the “Gandhiji vs Godse” fight, which he said was a fight of ‘People versus anti-people.’

Mr. Khan, who revived Khudai Khidmatgaar, an initiative of Frontier Gandhi Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, said the campaign would go on till January 30.

It would also involve spreading awareness of Gandhian values among the youth. Civil society activists will distribute leaflets and booklets spreading Gandhi's message.

They would take to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to counter the right wing propaganda.

Major Himanshu of Jal Biradari said the “appreciation” of Godse’s politics — though muted and rare — was “always there.”

“During the last few years Pradeep Dalvi’s play in Marathi, Mee Nathuram Boltoy (I, Nathuram speaking), attacking Gandhi and upholding Godse, drew packed houses in various places in Maharashtra. However, extreme reactionary outfits now feel emboldened to come out in the open with a vengeance. The paperback issue of Godse’s book is already running into its second reprint,” he added.

Terming the ‘bhumi pujan’ for the proposed Godse temple in Meerut by the Hindu Mahasabha as “highly publicised,” Surendar, a local social activist, said support for Godse would ultimately “weaken” India’s fight against terrorism.

Hindu Mahasabha to install Godse statue in temples - The Hindu
Meerut, January 29, 2015


The Hindutva outfit is in touch with saints and temple trusts across the country for the purpose.
Don't be surprised if you come across a statue of Nathuram Godse, the killer of the Mahatma Gandhi, in the temple in your vicinity. After its attempt to install Godse statues at few identified places in Uttar Pradesh was foiled by the State Police, the Hindu Mahasabha plans to install them in the premises of temples across India.

The Hindutva outfit is in touch with saints and temple trusts which supervise hundreds of temples, assured it of their support.

At present the outfit is quite determined but tight upped about how it plans to install statue of Nathuram Godse on January 30, the day Godse shot dead Mahatma Gandhi.

The Hindutva outfit has decided not to publicise its programmes of the installation of the statue after it felt "too much media coverage" became an "obstacle" in its work.

After its public announcement to build a temple for Godse in Sitapur district and install a Godse statue at an identified place in Meerut, the Uttar Pradesh police sealed the two places. While treating the issue as serious problem for law and order the State police also plans to invoke section 144 of the IPC at the two places.

As per the revised strategy, the outfit will first install Godse statue across the country and will then inform the media in order to avoid possible crackdowns by the Uttar Pradesh government and possible roadblocks posed by the other State government in the country. UP because

According to senior functionaries of the Hindutva group, they met several group of saints during the recently concluded "Magh Kumbh mela" in Allahabad.

"After we announced about our plans the government sealed the place. We don't want unnecessary attention. We would rather focus on competing the job at hand," he told this correspondent.

According to a senior Hindu Mahasabha leader who didn't want to be quoted because of the sensitivity of the issue, Godse statue might soon be seen within temple premises across the country -- to start with, in temples in the Hindi speaking States like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar.

"We met hundreds of saints during the Magh Kumbh Mela in Allahabad who assured us of their support and now we are planning to install statues in temples with the support of these saints," said the outfit leader.

"We have a dedicated set of youths who are brimming with nationalistic fervour and who are ready to put Godse statue at the Raj Ghat at the cost of getting arrested but we don't want to work like that. We just want to spread the message of 'Akhand bharat' (unified India) which was the main mission for Nathuram Godse ji," added another.

He clarified that the statues won't necessarily be in the main part of the temples so as not to equate Godse with the Hindu Gods.

"After some serious thinking and discussion with saints, we decided that as mark of respect to Godse we can install his statues somewhere in the premises of temples. We do have statues of great Hindu reformers and great men in temple premises," maintained the Hindutva leader.

While justifying the proposed move, the Hindu Mahasabha leader said: "Godse was no less than any other greater because he sent across the message of unified India and protested against the division the country by Klimt Gandhi".

The Hindutva group has ordered about five hundred statues from artists in Jaipur. It also plans to inaugurate and launch small libraries which would provide literature highlighting Godse's "point of view about unified India and correct sequence of events as far as Gandhi's killing is concerned".

The public announcement by the outfit to install a Godse statue and subsequent well reported bhumi pujan in Meerut for the statue, had resulted in its leaders being booked under various sections of the IPC.
