Will Never Forgive Her For Godse Remark: Modi Slams Pragya Thakur

“But in my heart, I cannot forgive her,” said the PM Modi on Pragya Thakur’s comment calling Godse ‘deshbhakt’.

In an interview on Friday, 17 May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed BJP’s Bhopal candidate Pragya Thakur for her remark hailing Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse as a “deshbhakt”, stating that he would never forgive her.

“She has apologised. That is a different thing. But in my heart, I cannot forgive her,” said the prime minister.

Just a day earlier, Thakur had whipped a political storm by “insulting Bapu” by stating that Godse “was, is and will always be a patriot.” While Thakur apologised for her remarks, it was only after the BJP demanded it.
