Nathuram Godse should have killed Nehru, not Gandhi

Is RSS trying to distort the Indian history by saying that Nathuram Vinayak Godse, the man who had assassinated Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948, should have killed India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru instead. Kerala RSS unit's mouthpiece Kesari sparked this Godse controversy but it is better to create history rather than re-writing it again and again. ccording to a report published in the News Minute, the author, B Gopalakrishnan, a BJP candidate in Chalakudy Lok Sabha constituency in the last elections. He alleges that Nehru indulged in selfish politics during Partition. "If history students honestly verified the historical facts before partition and also the views of Godse, they may arrive at the conclusion that Godse had chosen the wrong target." Nathuram Godse approached Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948 during the evening prayer at Birla House in Delhi and bowed. One of the girls flanking and supporting Gandhi, Abha Chattopadhyay, said to him, “Brother, Bapu is already late” and tried to put him off but he pushed her aside and shot Gandhi in the chest three times at point-blank range with a semi-automatic pistol. Gandhi died almost immediately.
