Did Gandhi not saved Bhagat Singh?
- Gandhi tried his best to save Bhagat Singh.

Let's burst propaganda in detail !

[ THREAD 🧵 ]

1/n

You were brainwashed. Gandhi did try to save Bhagat Singh. But you were prejudice so much that you can not digest the truth.

Gandhi raised the question of Bhagat Singh on 19th March when they met to discuss the notification of the Pact at the Congress session in Karachi.

2/n

Gandhi told then Viceroy Irwin that if he postponed or retracted the execution, it would bring peace.

Irwin was shocked to see that how an apostle of non-violence is so earnest pleading for the cause of creed so opposed to him.

3/n

Gandhi pleaded to Irwin but he refused to postpone or commute his execution.

For his part, Gandhi once more raised the question of Bhagat Singh. Could not execution be commuted or postponed?

4/n

Irwin answered that he had considered the case with most anxious care said he could neither commute nor postpone the sentence.
On 23rd March, he again wrote a letter to the Viceroy Irwin, once more urging him to stay Bhagat Singh's execution.

5/n

"Execution is an irretrievable act. If you think there is the slightest chance of error of judgment, I would urge you to suspend for further review an act that is beyond recall", Gandhi told Irwin in the letter.

#MahatmaGandhi personally spoke to the Viceroy to plead with him & even on that factual day, 23 March, he made a last desperate effort but he failed.

& also by that time Bhagat Singh and his comrades were secretly hanged by the British, a day before the announced schedule.

7/n

People failed to understand that he had more to gain by saving Bhagat Singh. He would have been regarded with more respect and affection. The people who hate for not saving Bhagat Singh would have been loving him.
Saying that he died out of jealousy is absolute illogical.

8/n

People failed to understand one more thing -
Did Bhagat Singh and his Comrades want mercy?
- No

9/n

Bhagat Singh's Father wrote a mercy petition on behalf of his son, admitting the crime and seeks pardon on his pronounced death of sentence and seeks life imprisonment.

10/n

Bhagat Singh wrote a letter to his father and scolds his father for this mercy petition and appealed to his Higher Court for something which is rarest of rare appeal.

11/n

Bhagat Singh is the only Indian who has petitioned the higher court for awarding death sentence & not to reduce the lower court decision of death sentence pronouncement into life imprisonment.

12/n

Bhagat Singh and their comrades didn't wanted mercy. He was inspired by Communist ideas and wanted pan India revolution. He wanted to become a martyr to bring a countrywide revolution.

13/n

If he really wanted to not die he would have escaped from jail. He believed that his death would result in the birth of thousands of other people like him.

#BhagatSingh once said," It is easy to kill individuals but cannot kill the ideas."
