Bhopal: Members of right-wing groups demanded the release of Kalicharan Maharaj, a religious leader from Maharashtra who is in jail in Chhattisgarh for abusing Mahatma Gandhi and glorifying his killer Nathuram Godse.
A leader of the Bajrang Sena asserted that Kalicharan did nothing wrong and only said what “everyone knows”.
The right-wing members had gone to submit a memorandum at the Commissioner’s office.
Addressed to President of India Ram Nath Kovind and Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, the memorandum demanded the registration of a sedition case against Congress’s Digvijaya Singh and Manishankar Iyyer and Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM and the release of Kalicharan.
The right-wing members alleged that the three political leaders always insult the Hindu religion.
They held a protest in front of the Gandhi statue at the heart Indore, raising slogans against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and hailing Nathuram Godse.
