Thakur, an accused in the Malegaon blasts case who is out on bail, had said Godse was and would remain a patriot. She added that May 23 (results day) would give a fitting reply to people who called Godse a terrorist. “We completely disagree with her statement with regard to Mahatma Gandhi. “The favourite of the Modi-Amit Shah duo – Pragya Thakur – crossed all limits today and committed the unpardonable sin of describing Nathuram Godse as a true nationalist. BJP and its leaders are deliberately and in a concerted conspiracy attacking the thought, the entire way of life, as also the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi,” party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said.
