Nathuram Godse was a patriot and will remain as ever.
And, if someone asks me, was Godse wrong in killing Gandhiji?
I would say, yes.
If someone asks me what punishment should have been given to Godse?
Hang him to death, would be my retort.
But, this does not mean that Godse was a terrorist or a traitor. I would never call him so.
If a very honest man, due to some circumstances, steals gold, most of us would say, "Oh, what happened. He is a very honest man, but why did he steal? What are the reasons?"
So, an honest man's tag always remains with him, even though he had indulged in stealing.
If an army officer, who is awarded for bravery, shoots down somebody due to some reasons, we don't deny his bravery as a military officer.
So, these two are different aspects.
Who was Godse?
History books, written by Left intellectuals, say that he was a lunatic Chitpavan Brahmin, who killed Gandhiji.
In fact, he was an educated man and a freedom fighter and patriot. First, he was member of RSS and then he joined Abhinav Bharat.
He was also editor of Dainik Agrani, a daily newspaper. His editorials were staunchly opposed to Gandhiji and his politics of ahimsa, however, he had deep respect for the Father of the Nation as a leader.
His grouse against Gandhiji should be viewed in a time when history witnessed immense bloodshed, millions of Hindus were slaughtered and millions of others were displaced.
For this, he held Gandhiji responsible and thus, set out to eliminate him. Therefore, can a grudge against a particular individual, be called an act of treason?
Surely, Gandhiji is not a nation in himself. So, it would be an absurdity to call him a traitor.
Who is called a traitor? What are the parameters for declaring a person guilty of treason?
Treason is criminal disloyalty to the state. It is a crime that covers participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state.
Justice G D Khosla, who pronounced death sentence to Godse, did not charge him with criminal disloyalty to the state, but declared him to be an assassin.
Ironically, leaders like Rahul Gandhi and others label Godse as traitors, but they extend support to Tukde Tukde gang who raise anti-India slogans at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.
They also support Maoists detained in Bhima-Koregaon case, who are charged of plotting assassination of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to destabilize democracy and wage war against Indian citizens.
Therefore, I ask questions to liberal and left cabal, isn't it a treason, if the action is centered around supporting anti-India tukde tukde gang? Isn't it a treason if people demand the release of persons who plotted to kill the head of the state?
We all know answers to these questions, don't we?
The purpose of these intelligentsia is not vilification of Godse, but to demonize Hindus by re-establishing "Hindu terror" slogan, which was given by Congress leaders Sushilkumar Shinde and Digvijaya Singh.
The aim here is to silence the Hindu voice by character assassination of people who speak in the interest of Hindus.
These were the same attempts being made by the Congress leaders then, that provoked Godse to take the extreme step.
Consider to be a good fortune that nobody has acted like Godse, ever since Gandhiji's assassination, but if relentless onslaught on Hindus and Hinduism continues, who knows another "lunatic" person could repeat the same mistake as Godse did on January 30, 1948.
Don't provoke the tolerant Hindus.
