Nathuram Godse was a deshbhakt: Sadhvi Pragya Thakur

BJP's Bhopal candidate Sadhvi Pragya Thakur has said that Nathuram Godse, who is known to have assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, was a "deshbhakt" (patriot) and will remain so forever.

Sadhvi Pragya was reacting to Kamal Haasan's recent comment that the first terrorist in India was a Hindu.

Speaking at an election rally, the Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder said, "The first terrorist post-Independence was Nathuram Godse, a Hindu. It started from there. He killed Mahatma Gandhi. I am questioning this as the great grandson of Gandhi."
