    The Hindu Mahasabha transforms Mahatma Gandhi into 'ASURA,' demanding that 'Gandhiji be removed and Netaji's photo be replaced.'


     

    Digital Desk: During the Durga Puja festival, the Akhil Bharat
    Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) placed an idol of the Mahishasura demon, who resembled
    Mahatma Gandhi, at the feet of Goddess Durga. Protests erupted everywhere after
    that. While this tragedy is still new, the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha has
    demanded that the image of Mahatma Gandhi be changed on currency notes with
    that of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

    Netaji Subhash Chandra
    Bose made an equal contribution to India's independence cause as Mahatma
    Gandhi. As a result, the All India Hindu Mahasabha has demanded that the photo
    of Mahatma Gandhi be replaced on banknotes with a photo of Subhash Chandra
    Bose.

     

    In a recent Durga
    Puja, ABHM placed an idol depicting Mahatma Gandhi as the demon Mahishasura.
    Following this, the above organization has requested that the image on currency
    notes be changed. "We believe that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's
    contribution to the country's freedom movement was equal to or greater than
    Mahatma Gandhi's. As a result, the finest method to memorialize India's heroic
    independence fighter, Netaji, is to have his image printed on bank notes. Instead
    of Gandhi's photo, Netaji's photo should be used. Remove Gandhiji and replace
    him with a photo of Netaji "In a news conference, ABHM state working
    President Chandrachur Goswami requested.

    Strange Demand

    During Durga Puja, the entire country was in commotion over the strange demon idol placed at the Hindu Mahasabha mandap. Mahatma Gandhi's visage was
    captured in the form of a demon there. Due to the activities of the state
    administration, the entrepreneurs were afterward forced to renovate the statue
    swiftly. Despite being obliged to cover the demon's face, the entrepreneurs did
    not abandon their political stand. "We regard Gandhi to be the true
    Asura," said Chandrachur Goswami, working president of the All India Hindu
    Mahasabha's West Bengal section. He is a genuine demon. That is why the
    statue was designed in that manner."



















    However, Trinamool and Congress are aggressively opposing
    Hindutva organizations' allegations. The TMC camp said that the BJP and its
    affiliates intended to sow discord across the country in this manner. Adhir
    Ranjan Chowdhury, President of the Pradesh Congress, stated, "We all know
    who was behind Gandhiji's killing. They are currently attempting to stomp on
    Gandhi's beliefs and policies. The BJP and RSS must be held accountable for the
    current demand that Gandhiji's image be removed from money."
