AGARTALA, May 17 (TIWN): DYFI State General Secretary Nabarun Deb has slammed BJP for praising Nathuram Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi.
Deb was addressing in a programme conducted for discussion Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the present political scenario with that incident.

Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, was a deshbhakt (patriot), the BJP’s Pragya Thakur said on Thursday setting up another controversy. Pragya Thakur, who had been banned from campaigning earlier for her hate comments, had earlier found herself in the middle of a row after her comments against the former chief of Mumbai’s anti-terrorism squad Hemant Karkare and the Babri Masjid.
“Nathuram Godse was a patriot, is a patriot and will remain a patriot. People calling him a terrorist should look within. Such people will be given a befitting reply in these elections,” Pragya Thakur.
