After which he was taken to the court where Nathuram accepted his conviction, as well as the reason for killing Mahatma Gandhi in the court.

To my mind, nothing has influenced the thought and work of the Indian people as much as they have done during the last 30 years". Nathuram further said, "After reading and thinking about them, I was convinced that my first responsibility was for Hindutva and Hindus, but when Gandhi, who inspired ideas for 32 years, kept his last fast in favour of Muslims, It was concluded that Gandhi's existence should be ended immediately."
