The Gwalior district administration and the Madhya Pradesh Police on Tuesday shut a library dedicated to the life and ideology of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse, reported News18. The administration’s action came only two days after the Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha inaugurated the Godse Gyanshala at Daulat Ganj area of the city.

On Monday, the district magistrate imposed Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure because complaints poured in on social media. “A meeting was held with members of the Hindu Mahasabha and the gyanshala was shut down,” Gwalior Superintendent Amit Sanghi told The Indian Express. “All the literature, posters, banners and other materials were seized.

Hindu Mahasabha Vice President Jaiveer Bharadwaj also confirmed that library has been shut down, adding that members of the organisation cooperated due to law and order concerns. “We wanted our message to reach out to the people at large and this was done,” he told The Indian Express. “We did not want any law and order situation, so the library was shut down.”
