Godse is a patriot and will remain a patriot. He is more popular today than Gandhi. It is shame the politician retracted his words. He should have stood his ground.
What is that Godse did for Indian independence other than murdering the man who brought freedom to India ?
Just remember that according to Gandhi Bhagat Singh was to a terrorist. And his way of independence was wrongBJP should ban the Idiot MP's from speaking, as these stupid statments nulify the good work done by government. These idiots should know that people voted them in power for Development, not for Hindutva etc. They'll be thrown out if they'll keep on talking nonsense.
Yes he was patriot indeed.and yes he committed Sin that not pardonable.but in anger but that doesn't count he was traitor His views are differ from Gandhi's.yes he chooses wrong path to kill the mahatma who even he himself respected so much but sometimes people do such do such acts I anger later they realize that all their lifeBJP Lawmaker Sakshi Maharaj Calls Gandhi Assassin Nathuram Godse A 'Patriot', Then Retracts
- New Delhi: A lawmaker Sakshi Maharaj, today embarrassed his party the ruling BJP by describing Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse as a "patriot."
Amid outrage at his comment, he soon retracted, saying, "I don't consider Godse a patriotic person. I take back my words if I said something by mistake. I didn't say that Godse was a patriotic person."
He had earlier said, "I feel Nathuram Godse was a patriot just as Mahatma Gandhi was."
The opposition Congress demanded that a case of treason be filed against Sakshi Maharaj. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Tushar Gandhi said, "Sakshi Maharaj is at least honest enough to come out and say what's in his heart... The government should endorse what Sakshi Maharaj has said, they shouldn't be double faced."
The government sought to distance itself from the new controversy, which was brought up in Parliament by Congress lawmaker Husain Dalwai who alleged that Godse was honoured at a function in Maharashtra recently. "It is absolutely wrong and the government should arrest them. Why is the government silent on the issue?" he asked.
Congress members protested loudly alleging that the function was organised among others, by the Bajrang Dal, an organisation affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS, the BJP's ideological mentor.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu emphasised in the Rajya Sabha that, "There is no question of honouring such people. There is no question of the government doing it."
He also said, "We should leave the matter there, but defaming an organisation is not acceptable."
Nathuram Godse, a right-wing activist, had shot the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi thrice in the chest at point blank range on January 30, 1948. He was hanged in November 1949.

Innocence is relative. Gandhi was guilty of spreading his ideology, which isn't acceptable to some.A man killing an innocent person is murderer.
Who told you Gandhi brought independence for India? He was a stooge of the British making sure all Indian movements to gain independence fail. By the time of his death, other Indian leaders were not even willing to listen to him. British left because of Royal Indian Naval Mutiny and the fact that there were 2.5 million battled hardened Indian soldiers who returned from World War 2 no longer willing to heed them.
Godse killed a man who was extremely immoral, depraved, and working against Indian interest.

Accomplishments of this nutcase.....
Yes it was RSS that united the whole india or maybe hindu mahasabha
Nathuram Godse: The Real Hero

Godse is often a misunderstood character. He is referred to as a Hindu fanatic. It is often hard to understand Godse because the Government of India had suppressed information about him. His court statements, letters etc. were all banned from the public until recently. Judging from his writingsone thing becomes very clear – He was no fanatic. His court statements are very well read out and indicate a calm and collected mental disposition. He never even once speaks ill about Gandhi as a person, but only attacks Gandhi’s policies which caused ruin and untold misery to Hindus. Another interesting point to note is that Godse had been working with the Hindurefugees fleeing from Pakistan. He had seen the horrible atrocities committed on them. Many women had their hands cut off, nose cut off, even little girls had been raped mercilessly. Despite this Godse did not harm even single Muslim in India which he could easily have. So it would be a grave mistake to callhim a Hindu fanatic.
Let us start by studying the motive behind Godse’s act. By seeing the nature of the assassination inpublic space and Godse’s act of turning himself over to the Police, we can see that Godse did not do this for personal reasons. He very well knew that he would be hanged and his name would be disgraced as Gandhi was considered a saint. And again Godse could have ran away and escaped punishment. But he did the reverse. He called a police officer and courted arrest. Before we proceed it would be wise to understand the backdrop of the assassination.
The central government had taken a decision — Pakistan will not be given Rs 55 crores. On January 13 Gandhi started a fast unto death that Pakistan must be given the money. On January 13, the central government changed its earlier decision and announced that Pakistan would be given the amount. On January 13, Nathuram decided to assassinate Gandhi.
Nathuram Godse was a learned man, very sharp and intelligent – editor of “Agrani” (one of the most famous newspaper of that time – with Nana Aapte). In his last editorial of “Agrani” which he changed overnight – he said “Gandhi must be stopped – at any cost” and he justified why Gandhiji’s assassination was not only inevitable but also a delayed action, sth tht shud’ve happened LONG AGO.
In Nathuram’s words – ” I don’t refute Gandhi’s theory of non-violence. He may be a saint but he is not a politician. His theory of non-violence denies self-defence and self-interest. The non-violence that defines the fight for survival as violence is a theory not of non-violence but of self-destruction.The division of the nation was an unnecessary decision. What was the percentage of the Muslim population as compared to the population of the nation? There was no need for a separate nation. Had it been a just demand, Maulana Azad would not have stayed back in India. But because Jinnah insisted and because Gandhi took his side, India was divided, in spite of opposition from the nation, the Cabinet. An individual is never greater than a nation.
In a democracy you cannot put forward your demands at knife-point. Jinnah did it and Gandhi stabbed the nation with the same knife. He dissected the land and gave a piece to Pakistan. We did picket that time but in vain. The Father of our Nation went to perform his paternal duties for Pakistan! Gandhi blackmailed the cabinet with his fast unto death. His body, his threats to die are causing the destruction — geographical as well as economical — of the nation. Today, Muslims have taken a part of the nation, tomorrow Sikhs may ask for Punjab. The religions are again dividend into castes, they will demand sub-divisions of the divisions. What remains of the concept of one nation, national integration? Why did we fight the British in unison for independence? Why not separately? Bhagat Singh did not ask only for an independent Punjab or Subhash Chandra Bose for an independent Bengal?
Hindu mahasabha members were members of Congress too. Congress was seen as a Hindu party at that time and they did not need a different political outfit for Hindus. Though I doubt you have brains to comprehend this.
