Answer:

Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, was shot at 5-12 p.m. to-day and he died fifteen minutes later. Gandhiji left his room in Birla House for the prayer meeting a few minutes after the conclusion of his talk with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He passed through the garden leaning on the shoulders of Ava Gandhi and Manu Gandhi, grand daughter-in-law and grand niece.

As he walked up the four steps leading to the prayer mandap, a young man, aged about 35, came before Gandhiji and, bending his body forward at a distance of less than two yards, offered pranam. Gandhiji returned the salute, when the young man remarked “You are late to-day for the prayer.” Gandhiji smiled and replied, “Yes, I am”; but just at that moment, the young man pulled out his revolver and rang out three shots from point-blank range, the bullets piercing the frail body of the great leader just below the heart and stomach. Immediately, Gandhiji collapsed; but Ava Gandhi and Manu Gandhi stuck to their place by his side and held him firmly. But that was the last of the Nation’s Father. It was then 5.12 p.m

Its friday.

Explanation:

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known by his given name Mahatma Gandhi, was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist, and writer who rose to prominence during the nationalist movement against British rule of India. He was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, and passed away on January 30, 1948, in Delhi. He earned the title of "father of his country" as a result. Gandhi is revered across the world for his philosophy of using peaceful protest (satyagraha) to advance political and social change.

The leaders of several protests and movements have cited Gandhi in the years following his passing. With a few notable exceptions, such as those of his student and Indian land reformer Vinoba Bhave and American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., such movements, however, have been a mockery of Gandhi's principles.
