In the light of recent hate-crime against anti-CAA protestors at Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI) in Delhi, Maharashtra Minority Affairs Minister Nawab Malik on Friday said that the ideology of Nathuram Godse, who killed Mahatma Gandhi, is still alive.
"The (Jamia) incident took place on the same day when Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. This means that the ideology of Gose is still alive and is also being encouraged,” Nawab Malik said.
Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik stated that the shooting incident at Jamia took place days after Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Monday encouraged the crowd at an election rally in Delhi to shout slogans: “Desh ke Gaddaro ko, Goli maro Saalo ko (The traitors of this country should be shot)”.
