A Pune court today allowed an application filed by a lawyer seeking to intervene in a suit demanding ban on “Desh Bhakt Nathuram Godse”, an upcoming film by Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha.<\/p>\n
Hemant Patil, who heads a political outfit, filed the original suit.<\/p>\n
Advocate Assem Sarode, a Pune-based lawyer, today filed an application seeking to intervene and praying that the film’s release should not be stopped as the filmmaker has a constitutional right to produce a movie.<\/p>\n
Judicial magistrate S R Nimise allowed Sarode to intervene while posting the matter for arguments on January 28, said advocate Wajid Khan, Patil’s lawyer.<\/p>\n
The suit contends that Hindu Mahasabha general secretary Munna Kumar Sharma had told the media that “the film would show that Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, was a patriot while Gandhi was anti-Hindu.”<\/p>\n
According to the suit, the film was being released on the same day (January 30) when Godse had gunned down Gandhi in 1948.<\/p>\n
