Over a decade after he shocked the country claiming Mahatma Gandhi did not utter the words “Hey Ram” when he was assassinated 70 years ago, Venkita Kalyanam, who was the Mahatma’s personal secretary between 1943 and 1948, on Tuesday said he was misquoted in 2016. Venkita Kalyanam, told media agency in a , “I never said Gandhi ji did not say ‘Hey Ram’ at all. What I had said was I did not hear him saying ‘Hey Ram’.” 'Hey Ram' were or were not Mahatma Gandhi's last words? The 96-year-old personal attendant to Mahatma Gandhi then claims to be a witness to the horrific event on January 30, 1948, said he “could not hear anything due to the commotion after the incident”. “Everybody was shouting when the Mahatma was shot. I could not hear anything in the din. He may have uttered ‘Hey Ram’. I do not know,” Kalyanam said. In 2006 he told at a press conference in Kollam that Bapu did not say “Hey Ram” when he fell to the bullets of Nathuram Godse. The Mahatma’s great grandson Tushar Gandhi had rubbished the remark then. Tushar Gandhi had said that after he was shot, Bapu had folded hands and uttered the words “Hey Ram”. -PTC News-
