Rajnath Singh condemns Pragya Thakur’s remark.
“If someone considers Nathuram Godse as a ‘deshbhakt’, then our party condemns it. Mahatma Gandhi is an idol for us, he was our guiding light and will remain so,” he said.
It’s not the first time she said something like that. It shows she’s an enemy of Gandhi and a supporter of his killers. I’ve given Privilege Motion to Speaker, let’s see what happens, says Owaisi
