Goa: Protest against release of Godse book on Gandhi's death anniversary

January 29, 2016 12:10

The newly-formed Goa Forward party has opposed the release of a book on Mahatma Gandhi's killer Nathuram Godse scheduled for Saturday on the death anniversary of the Father of the Nation.

The book, titled 'Nathuram Godse -- The Story of an Assassin' and written by Anup Ashok Sardesai, is scheduled for release Saturday at the government-owned Ravindra Bhavan in Margao by BJP leader and the bhavan's chairman Damodar Naik.

"The use of government premises for such an unpatriotic cause should be stopped. We will hold 'satyagraha' in front of Ravindra Bhavan if the government allows the function to happen,' Goa Forward's secretary Mohandas Lolienkar told PTI.
