A picture of PM Modi sitting in front of a picture with folded hands is being shared with a claim that he was paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse.
“Now tell me,What name will they be called in our town…? Here a worship for Mahatma Gandhi and Godse who shot and killed them..!!!? The country will shine…!!” the post claimed in Tamil. ( Translated using Google)
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
Among those imprisoned at Cellular Jail was the great Veer Savarkar. I visited the cell where the indomitable Veer Savarkar was lodged. Rigorous imprisonment did not dampen Veer Savarkar’s spirits and he continued to speak and write about a free India from jail too. pic.twitter.com/dbsyzuVUjA

From the above fact check, it is clear that the man in the picture is not Nathuram Godse but Veer Savarkar.
Hence, the post is misleading and false.
