BJP will not tolerate such statements: Lokendra on Sadhvi Pragya

The BJP on Thursday condemned the remark of its Bhopal Lok Sabha candidate Pragya Singh Thakur in which she termed Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse a "deshbhakt" (patriot).

Adding to her list of controversial statements, Thakur, who is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, had said: "Nathuram Godse was a deshbhakt (patriot), he is and will remain a deshbhakt. Those calling him a terrorist should instead look at themselves. They will be given a befitting reply in this election."
