THREAD: On the day #Gandhiji was killed, we must remember his life’s lessons but not forget the ideology that took him away from the Independent India that he’d fought for

Remember,many disagreed with Gandhi throughout his life. Only Hindutva’s foot soldiers killed him for it
We mustn’t forget that the conspiracy to kill Gandhi was made because of the terrorists’ hatred for Muslims & in their view Gandhi was a little too pro-Muslim

The message to Indian Muslims was: your allies, even if they’re Gandhiji, will have to risk their lives to support you
Gandhi had, after all, fasted for safety of Muslims & their places of worship in Delhi. His fast had resulted in Sikhs & Hindus taking a pledge for Muslims’ safety

Mentored by “Veer” Savarkar, terrorists wanted to blame Muslims for it.
Godse had undergone circumcision & bought a burqa. So that the blame of the murder would fall on Muslims. Thankfully, that didn’t happen.

But this shows cowardice is at the heart of Hindutva. It’s driven by insecurities & feels threatened by an old, frail main
The Jeevan Lal Kapur Commission indicted Savarkar - who is apparently deserving of Bharat Ratna now - of Gandhi’s murder

Savarkar has been rehabilitated as a freedom fighter today. But we know the truth, we won’t forget it
Today Godse is celebrated as a patriot by @BJP4India MPs. They refuse to denounce Godse & ask us to “understand” his motives

They’re apologists for a terrorist & we will never allow them to normalise this evil act as patriotrism
