Mahatma Gandhi’s Assassination On Kerala Govt’s Budget Cover: Thomas Isaac Says We Will Never Forget

Finance Minister of Kerala, Thomas Isaac used the picture of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination on the state’s budget speech book’s cover. While speaking to ANI, Issac said, “Definitely, it is a political statement, cover of my budget speech. It is a painting by a Malayalam artist of Mahatma Gandhi's murder scene. We are sending out a message that we will not forget who murdered Gandhi. This is important at the times when history is being re-written. There is an attempt to erase some popular memories and use National Register of Citizens (NRC) to divide the population on communal lines. Kerala will stand united.”
