In a fresh trouble for Narendra Modi government, the Hindu Mahasabha has announced that it wants to observe November 15 - the day Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse was hanged - as 'balidan diwas'.

Last year, the Mahasabha had declared that it will build temples in honour of Godse. He was hanged in Ambala jail on November 15, 1949.

According to a newspaper report, Mahasabha president Chandraprakash Kaushik has made plans to observe 'balidan diwas' all across the country.

Talking to the The Economic Times, Kaushik said, "Godse was much more patriotic than Gandhi. I am very sure several people in the country think so. 'Balidan diwas' should be a day for the countrymen to sit and think why Godse killed Gandhi."

Among the other plans, students will present plays on Godse's life.

Members will also read out Godse's speech during the trial and hand out copies of 'Gandhivadh Kyon', a book written by Gopal Godse, Nathuram Godse's younger brother.

The Mahasabha will construct a Godse rath as well. The rath will have images of Bhagart Singh, Savarkar and other revolutionaries besides Godse.
