Overview
- The Gujarati play, reported as "I Am Nathuram Godse" or "Hun Nathuram," was scheduled at Hemu Gadhvi Hall in Rajkot on Saturday night.
- The Gujarat Congress objected to the staging, alleging an attempt to glorify Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin and demanding answers on who granted permission.
- Police detained about 45 Congress workers over alleged vandalism of the set, and officers said an FIR was likely to be filed.
- Producer Paritosh Painter said the team held a censor certificate and police permission, describing the script as drawn from Godse’s court statement rather than an endorsement.
- Organisers said they plan to proceed with upcoming performances after earlier shows in Surat, Vadodara and Bhavnagar, as the Congress prepared formal protests.
