I just saw a report on IBN7 about the famous author PadmaShree Giriraj Kishore protesting against auction of Gandhiji's blood soaked soil in an auction house in England along with a few other. This soil was the very soil on which the great man's blood fell on when Nathuram Godse assasinated him. The Padmashree awardee has declared, that in case this happens, he shall immediately return the national award given to him as a mark of protest of Indian government's failure in protecting Gandhiji's assets. he beleives that it is crucial for us Indians to maintain the integrity and respect for the father of the nation, and if he cannot be respected, then there is no point in acceptiong respect and recognition. And i firmly believe that Kishoreji is very correct in saying so. Even the west, and its visionaries(like Martin Luther King Jr) believed that Gandhiji was an iconic man , and a man of respect.
This is a matter of shame for the nation. A party that has begged for votes for over half a century doesn't even care for the man who dedicated his life for freedom, who became a visionary and an incon for India and the world. Shame on the UPA government. I guess they'd be busy thinking how to make another scam after one dozen scam exposes in the last 7 years.
