New Delhi, March 12: The RSS wasn’t concerned within the killing of Mahatma Gandhi, BJP patriarch L.K. Advani said in a web log, quoting Gandhi’s grandson Rajmohan Gandhi Wed.
Advani’s diary ‘Mahatma was maybe not right’ Wed also said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s contributions haven’t been acknowledged.
“This book by Rajmohan Gandhi has effectively nailed the Congress party’s denigrating campaign against the RSS in respect of Mahatmaji’s assassination,” Advani wrote.
The BJP leader aforesaid that Rajmohan Gandhi in his book on Patel quoted a letter dated February 27, 1948, written by Patel to Jawaharlal Nehru.
The letter said: “I have unbroken myself virtually in daily bit with the progress of the investigation concerning Bapu’s assassination case. I devote a large a part of my evening to discussing with Sanjeevi (head of intelligence and officer of police, Delhi) the day’s progress and giving directions to him on any points that arise. All the defendant have given long and careful statements… It emerges clearly from these statements that the RSS wasn’t concerned in it at all.”
Advani aforesaid that anyone who analyses history “readily feels that if Gandhiji had chosen Sardar Patel rather than Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to become free India’s initial prime minister, it’s quite probably the history of these early years might are quite different”.
He also quoted Rajmohan Gandhi’s book on Patel, speech “while acknowledgements are unctuous within the case of Jawaharlal Nehru, and obedient within the case of Gandhi, they’re stingy within the case of Patel”.
“But the opinion of some that the mahatma had been but honest to Vallabhbhai was an element in my call to try to write the latter’s life. If a wrong had been perpetrated, some reparation from one of the Mahatma’s grandsons would be so as,” the book aforesaid.
The BJP patriarch added: “For Rajmohan, Gandhiji’s grandchild, to mention overtly that Gandhiji had maybe not been right within the call he took concerning prime ministership, and, therefore merited some ‘reparation’ from one amongst his grandsons not only discovered his own greatness and largess however also supported the final read that Sardar would are a more applicable choice.”
