Sadhvi Pragya, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Bhopal and an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, had recently called Nathu Ram Godse ‘a patriot’. 

Nathuram Godse was a deshbhakt, is a deshbhakt and will remain a deshbhakt. People calling him a terrorist should instead look within, such people will be given a befitting reply in these elections.

A tweet from BJP’s official handle, quoted the PM as saying:

Even though Sadhvi Pragya has apologised for her statements, I will never be able to forgive her.

Meanwhile, party president Amit Shah has also taken an action and disciplinary committee to submit a report on the matter within 10 days.

Sadhvi Pragya started drawing flak right after making the controversial and later apologised for the same, saying that Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution towards the country can never be forgotten.
