Khargone: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday said he will never forgive BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur for insulting Mahatma Gandhi by calling his assassin Nathuram Godse a true patriot.
Modi told a TV channel during his last rally here ahead of the last phase of voting in the Lok Sabha polls, Modi also said her comments were detrimental to society.
“The remarks made about Gandhiji or Nathuram Godse are very bad and very wrong for society,” he said. “She has sought an apology but I would never be able to forgive her fully,” he added.
Earlier Friday, BJP president Amit Shah said remarks on Mahatma Gandhis assassin by three BJP leaders Thakur, Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde and Karnataka MP Nalin Kumar Kateel were not in line with the partys ideology.
Shah had said the party’s disciplinary committee has sought an explanation from them in 10 days.
During a roadshow in Madhya Pradeshs Agar town, Thakur had said, Nathuram Godseji deshbhakt the, hai, aur rahenge unko aatankwadi kahne wale log swayam ki gireban me jhaank kar dekhe chunav mein aise logon ko jawab de diya jayega (Nathuram Godse was a patriot, is a patriot, and will remain a patriot those who call him a terrorist should look within they will get a reply in this election).
She was responding to a comment made by actor-turned- politician Kaman Haasan, who said Godse was the first Hindu terrorist in independent India.
The Malegaon blast accused later apologised for her statement.

The things she has done are more difficult to forgive than the things she has said.
“alleged to have done” but not convicted for them yet.
And a lot of people in India have a lot of allegations on them, starting with RG being a British citizen. But again none proved so far.
Learn the difference
Was Pragya Thakur chosen a BJP candidate without Mr Modi’s permission? Was Adityanath chosen the chief minister of UP without Mr Modi’s permission? Were lynchings allowed to be IGNORED without Mr Modi’s permission?
Mr Modi himself espouses a narrow minded, claustrophobic type of Hinduism. He’s only making “appropriate noises” in the present Pragya Thakur case because of elections.
Yet so many Indians support modi. You must be so sad daily.
You have no sense of logic. Nor do you have any sense of morality. And you don’t even have a name.
