THREAD: On the day #Gandhiji was killed, we must remember his lifeu2019s lessons but not forget the ideology that took him away from the Independent India that heu2019d fought for

Remember,many disagreed with Gandhi throughout his life. Only Hindutvau2019s foot soldiers killed him for it

We mustnu2019t forget that the conspiracy to kill Gandhi was made because of the terroristsu2019 hatred for Muslims & in their view Gandhi was a little too pro-Muslim

The message to Indian Muslims was: your allies, even if theyu2019re 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 Muslimsu2019 safety

Mentored by u201cVeeru201d 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 didnu2019t happen.

But this shows cowardice is at the heart of Hindutva. Itu2019s 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 Gandhiu2019s murder

Savarkar has been rehabilitated as a freedom fighter today. But we know the truth, we wonu2019t forget it

Today Godse is celebrated as a patriot by @BJP4India MPs. They refuse to denounce Godse & ask us to u201cunderstandu201d his motives

Theyu2019re apologists for a terrorist & we will never allow them to normalise this evil act as patriotrism
