Claim: Gandhi & Nehru's inaction about Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya's plea led to Bhagat Singh's death.
Fact-check: Gandhi on multiple occasions appealed to Lord Irwin for suspension of Bhagat Singh's execution - FACTLY
Verdict: gandhi, on a few occasions, made requests to the viceroy at the time, lord irwin, seeking a reprieve of bhagat singh's death sentence. in fact, even before malaviya's plea, gandhi had already appealed for the suspension of bhagat singh's execution during a conversation with the viceroy in october 1930. contrary to the viral claim, lord irwin, in his speech, unequivocally supported the punishment of bhagat singh, disregarding gandhi's plea. hence the claim made in the post is false.
