Who is Madan Lal Pahwa?

Madan Lal Pahwa came to India in 1947 as a refugee after the partition of India. The plight of refugees intensified his anger against the main leader of Congress Mahatma Gandhi and other Congress leaders. He tried to murder Gandhi on 20 January 1948 in a prayer meeting at Birla House New Delhi but failed in his attempt. Later when Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi on 30 January 1948, a case of attempt to murder was filed against Madan Lal and he was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in the conspiracy of assassinating Gandhi.
