Gauri Lankesh’s Murderer Given Firearms Training, Jignesh Mevani Questions PM Modi’s Silence In The Matter
Mervani also questioned the ideology of Hindutva.
After a report revealed that one of Gauri Lankesh’s murderers was given firearms training, independent politician and social activist Jignesh Mevani, took to Twitter to express his anger over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence in the matter.
One of the killers of Gauri Lankesh practised firing in forest of Karnataka and 'training included holding the loaded pistol and aiming at a moving object while running'. Training with what motive? What kind of hindutva is this? Why @PMOIndia is maintaining silence on this?

According to The Times of India sources, “The training included holding the loaded pistol and at a moving object while running. The shooters were told that by shooting at the face or head of the victims, chances of them surviving would be less.”
Lankesh, a journalist was vocal about the shortcomings of Narendra Modi government and wrote critical articles against the right-wing party and its supporters. She was shot dead outside her Bengaluru residence on September 5, 2017.
