  • Dressed in a saffron attire, Pandey pulled the trigger in the video due to which red-colored liquid (fake blood) flowed from the effigy.

    Further, Pandey also garlanded the photo of Nathuram Godse, Gandhi's assassin who murdered him in 1948.

    The outfit distributed sweets among its supporters.

    Notably, another video has surfaced which showed Pandey posing with gun and effigy before the shooting.

  • While the entire nation remembers the father of the nation on January 30, Hindu Mahasabha doesn't.

    In the past, the outfit celebrated the day as 'Shaurya Diwas' to hail the bravery of Godse for killing Gandhi.

    The members of the outfit blame Gandhi for the partition of India in 1947.

    However, this is the first time Hindu Mahasabha recreated the appalling act.

    Journalist Aarti Tikoo Singh wrote: Anyone celebrating the assassination of the father of the nation, is essentially celebrating violence. In other words, these Hindu Mahasabha loonies are undermining Indian Constitution and law.

    Senior journalist Aditya Raj Kaul tweeted: Crazy. Morons.

    There were many who wondered if an action would be taken against these people.
