Hindu Mahasabha plans bike rally for Gandhi’s killer – The Times of India

LUCKNOW: Despite being booked last month for announcing a Nathuram Godse temple in Sitapur, Hindu Mahasabha members now plan to take out a bike rally in Lucknow on Thursday to make people “aware” about why he assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.

During the course of the rally, the outfit’s members will perform a ‘bhumi pujan’ at Bhaptamau village, where a statue of Godse will be installed later, said Kamlesh Tiwari, the Hindu Mahasabha’s national working president. He said the idea was to install the statue before the ‘bhumi pujan’ for the temple in Sitapur is performed on January 30.

The bike rally will begin from Hindumahasabha Bhawan at Khurshed Bagh and pass through Charbagh, Alambagh, Chowk, Aminabad and Para localities to reach Bhaptamau. Along the way, the outfit’s members will distribute pamphlets giving ‘reasons’ why Godse killed Gandhi.
