Mumbai: Maharashtra CC President Nana Patole urged Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday to ban the film Why I Killed Gandhi, set to release on various OTT platforms on January 30th, the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has written letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding a total ban on the film, which seeks to glorify Gandhiji’s assassin Nathuram Godse, and its exhibition would shock the people. The film features NCP MP Amol Kolhe in the role of Godse, sparking friction.

Maharashtra State Congress President Nana Patole said Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology of truth, peace and non-violence is respected all over the world and his death anniversary is observed globally as the day symbolizing his teachings.

If the film ‘Why I Killed Gandhi’ is allowed to be released on the day of Gandhiji’s assassination, it would give strength to the fascist forces. Hence, we request you to kindly order a ban on the movie, he said.

The AICWA sought a complete ban on the film’s release as it seeks to glorify Godse, a traitor and killer of the Father of the Nation.
