Congress Rajya Sabha MP Hussain Dalwai today strongly condemned the alleged efforts to "glorify" Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse and demanded arrest of those involved in such exercise.
"A person who has created an example of non-violence in the world and whom we called Father of the Nation was killed by Nathuram Godse," Dalwai said outside Parliament.
"Now some people are observing Nathuram Godse Shourya Diwas on November 15. It is absolutely wrong and government should arrest them. Why is the government silent on the issue?" he asked.
Dalwai said he has written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis demanding action against persons involved in "glorifying" Godse.
"Gandhi is accepted by people from all walks of lives including workers, peasants, dalit and women. I have written a letter to the state Chief Minister demanding action against these people," he said.
