Disclose Gandhi assassin Nathuram Godse's statement to the public : CIC
According to The Times of India, the CIC has asked the National Archives of India to place the record on its website.
Information commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu said the disclosure or circulation of Godse's opinion should not be restricted.
He said Gandhi's life, character and image as a champion of peace and Hindu-Muslim unity could not be tarnished either by his physical elimination or adverse analysis of his policies.
"One may disagree with Godse and his co-accused but we cannot refuse disclosure or circulation of his opinion," the report quoted him as saying.
Sridhar Acharyulu has said that the assassin's opinion could not be construed as any justification for Gandhi's killing.
"At the same time, neither Nathuram Godse nor the holder of his theme or opinion can go to the extent of killing a person whose philosophy he cannot agree with," Acharyulu said in his order.
