On 9th August 1947, Gandhi arrived in Calcutta where he chose to stay at the Hydari House, an old abandoned Muslim house in the Beliaghatta area of South Bengal. But, Gandhi was not alone. He stayed there along with Hussain Ali Suharawardhy, the Chief Minister of Bengal and the mastermind behind the murder of 100000 Hindus in Noakhali. The news of Gandhi living with Suharawardhy angered the people of Bengal. By evening, thousands of Hindus gathered outside the Hydari House and began shouting slogans “Down with Gandhi ….. Gandhi go back ….. . Stop romancing with a mass murderer”
