A post is being shared on social media claiming that on one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is paying tribute to Gandhi Ji and on the other, he is paying tribute to Mahatma’s killer- Nathuram Godse.
“ये है हमारे दोगले प्रधान मंत्री जो मरनेवाले गाँधीजी को भी प्रणाम करते है और उन्हें मारनेवाले नाथूराम गोडसे को भी प्रणाम करते है ” the text on the post read.
( Translation- this is our double-faced PM who also salutes the dead, Gandhiji and also salutes Nathuram Godse, who killed him.)
