Ashes of India's founding father Gandhi stolen on October 2, 2019
On October 2, 2019 (September 4, 2019 in the lunar calendar), the photo of the stolen ashes of Gandhi, the founding father of India, was written as "traitor". The Daily Telegraph reported that October 2, 2019, local time, is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, the "father of the nation" of India. However, on this day, Gandhi's ashes, which were placed in a memorial site in the central part of the country, were stolen. Gandhi/data map from AFP's comprehensive British "Daily Telegraph", "India Today" and other media reported on October 3rd that this Wednesday (2nd), just as the whole world was commemorating the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth, some unidentified thugs stole Gandhi's ashes at BapuBhawan memorial site in Lewa, Madhya Pradesh, India. These people also wrote the words "traitor" in green paint on Gandhi's photograph. According to India Today, this act was first discovered by Gurmeet Singh, president of the Congress Party in Rewa, when he came here with other party workers to pay tribute to the "Father of the Nation". At present, Singh has filed a formal complaint, and the staff of the Congress Party have held a protest, all demanding that the identities of these gangsters be quickly identified and action taken. The administrator of the memorial site denounced the thief's behavior as "very shameful". According to the Daily Telegraph, a small number of Hindus who hold a tough stance believe that Gandhi is regarded as a "traitor" for advocating the unity between Hinduism and Muslims. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 and played a key role in India's struggle for independence. On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu radical. Just a few months ago, he had just led India out of British rule by leading the "non-violent non-cooperation movement". According to Indian tradition, after Gandhi's body was cremated, his ashes were distributed to his friends and family and commemorated all over India.
