Hyderabad: Advocates and social activists on Thursday submitted a complaint to Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar over a video being circulated in social media for a while. In this video seen as an atrocious act perpetrated allegedly by the sational decretary of Hindu Mahasabha, Puja Shakun Pandey. She was seen celebrating the death anniversary of Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, by shooting with a toy gun at his portrait, re-enacting his assassination.

A delegation led by advocates Mir Nizam Ali Khan and Mohammed Aziz ur Rahman and social activist Syed Waseem approached the Police Commissionerate to lodge a complaint against the ‘Self-Proclaimed Lady Judge of Country's first Hindu Court.’ “Even as India was commemorating with pain the 71st death anniversary of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi on 30th January, this right-wing Hindu group shockingly celebrated and re-enacted his assassination and garlanded Nathuram Godse with joy in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh,” they noted.

Slogans like ‘Mahatma Nathuram Godse amar hai’ were raised on the occasion, they alleged. In the video, after she ‘shoots at’ the portrait, a red-coloured liquid is seen flowing from it. Somebody is heard saying in the background ‘Iska (Mahatma Gandhi) ka khoon bahut ganda tha.’“Puja Shakun Pandey later told reporters that her organisation has started a new tradition by recreating the assassination and it will now be practised in a manner similar to the immolation of demon king Ravana on Dussehra,” the petitioners complained. They demanded stern action against her.
