Nathuram Godse never left RSS, says his family By Vasudha Venugopal, ET Bureau | Sep 08, 2016, 03.54 AM IST NEW DELHI: Nathuram Godse's family believes that the assassin, a staunch member of the RSS was neither expelled from the sangh nor did he ever leave the organisation. This comes at the time when Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi is fighting a defamation case filed by a sangh activist on his statement that the RSS killed Mahatma Gandhi. Talking to ET, Satyaki Savarkar, grand nephew of Nathuram Godse and Veer Savarkar, said the family has preserved all important writings of both Nathuram and Gopal Godse, some of which, according to him, clearly indicate that Nathuram Godse was a dedicated member of the RSS but had increasingly become disillusioned with the sangh for not being radical enough. Grandson of Gopal Godse, the younger brother of Nathuram Godse and also a convict in Gandhi assassination, Satyaki, is a software professional who is now reviving the original Hindu Mahasabha, founded by hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar. "Nathuram joined the RSS when he was in Sangli in 1932. He remained a boudhik karyawah till his death. He was neither expelled nor did he ever leave the organisation," Satyaki said. "I am definitely upset with the RSS for denying the fact that he was a swayamsevak. I understand that they do not support the act of killing Gandhiji but they cannot run away from the facts," he added.
