Hindu Mahasabha national president Yogendra Verma on Tuesday said their activists carried out the yatra with photographs of several revolutionaries, including Godse, on Independence Day.

He said, "We believe that Godse had taken steps against the Gandhi's policy, which was against the nation," he said.
