Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed disappointment over some people now openly endorsing Nathuram Godse, who shot Mahatma Gandhi in broad daylight, and cautioned citizens to be wary of such individuals.
Speaking at an award ceremony held by the Department of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Siddaramaiah said: “Gandhiji, perhaps the only man in the world who showed the world that freedom can be achieved through non-violence, was brutally shot by Godse. It is unfortunate that in independent India, there are now people who worship him. We should be wary of such people.”
