Supreme Court on Monday (8/1/18) adjudged that there was no need to reinvestigate Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination case. With this decision the issue has come an end. Two tragedies struck India in 1948 and people even after seven decades of post independence India still suffers the consequences of those tragedies. One was partition of India amidst bloodbath, and the other was the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, by a fellow Hindu, called Nathuram Godse, When Mahatma was walking to his daily prayer meeting on 30th Jan 1948. In his confession, Godse announced that he pumped three bullets into the chest of Gandhi, as his policy and actions ruined the millions of Hindus and he had no “respect for the policy which was unfairly favourable to Muslims” Godse and Narayan Apte were hanged for this murder, on 15/11/1949. But now it seems, the historians are indulging in hair-splitting over who killed Mahatma. Eminent thinkers like A G Noorani, wrote about Savarkar ,Hindu ideologue, former president Hindu Mahasabha, his alleged involvement in the said assassination. The Kanpur Commission also commented that Savarkar plotted the murder but he was acquitted owing lack of corroborative evidence. Infact, Patel then Home Minister too accepted this view and wrote PM Nehru. Now Dr Pankajphadnis ,a self confessed follower of Savarkar, filled a PIL in SC questioning the belief that three bullets were fired, stating that the “fourth bullet “”fired by a mysterious assassin killed Gandhiji. The petitioner therefore wanted thorough probe, into the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, to identify the mysterious assassin. Keeping aside all this, the Supreme Court, opined that no further probe is needed, into the assassination of Gandhiji, and as per amicus curiae, no substantive material has come to light to throw doubt on any of the above, requiring either reinvestigation or to constitute afresh fact finding Commission.  I feel, he has been killed by the said three bullets, which was proved beyond doubt, and if at all any fourth bullet was there, it was the only politicians of post Independent India, who made mockery of democracy, turned elections a farce, fragmented the society on lines of caste, creed, religion, and created a different culture as such, while stifling dissidence changed the concept of nationalism. Its sad that some people are not prepared to leave even Mahatma Gandhi.
