This is Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.
His former party, right-wing group Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, has been advocating the recognition of Godse as a martyr.
In January, 2015, they proposed the installation of Godse statues across India.
The move was opposed by various quarters, with prohibitory orders issued against installation of the statues.
Of course, a silly little court order wasn't gonna stop these guys.
They got his statues built and plans were on to get them erected soon... Save for one tiny thing.
#HinduMahasabha postpones plans to instal #godse statues as "he was never this fat n chubby." New statues coming soon
They rejected the statues for looking fatter and chubbier than the real Godse, and are now getting them replaced with new slim ones.
I mean, sure, this guy has a bit of a double chin. But it isn't ~that~ bad.
You stay strong, statue dude. Don't listen to the haters.
