Hyderabad, Jan 23: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has demanded the BJP-led Centre to ban an upcoming Hindi film on Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse like it blocked the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing a public meeting here on Sunday, the AIMIM leader said the Government of India has to take a clear-cut stand that a ban will be imposed on the movie ‘Gandhi Godse – Ek Yudh’ and it will not be released in any theatre.
“The Modi government blocked the BBC documentary on YouTube and Twitter in India on the basis of a colonial-era law. We want to ask the Prime Minister…were you not the chief minister of Gujarat when the (2002) riots took place?…Bilkis Bano was raped…a former Congress MP was killed,” the Hyderabad MP said.
The BJP (government) banned the documentary, he said and sought to know from the Prime Minister and BJP leaders their opinion on Nathuram Godse.
“Godse killed Gandhi. Then who is the biggest terrorist of independent India? Now, a film is being made on Godse. Will the Prime Minister of India ban the movie on Godse or will tell the people go and watch it,” Owaisi asked. (PTI)
