Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Sunday said that the party will not allow the release of the movie 'Why I killed Gandhi' in Maharashtra.

"If you portray Gandhiji's murderer as a hero, it is not acceptable. Our country is known through Gandhi and his ideology. He is celebrated worldwide. Congress will oppose it. We will request Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray not to allow this movie's release in Maharashtra," said the Congress leader.
