BJP stands by India’s ‘first’ terrorist, will even give Godse a’ Bharat Ratan’: Asaduddin Owaisi

Hyderabad: Taking a direct jibe at BJP for Sadhvi Pragya Thakur’s comment glorifying Nathuram Godse as a patriot, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the party will now even give Godse a Bharat Ratna.

“Remember, @narendramodi has defended & endorsed Pragya’s candidature. This is not a ‘lunatic fringe’ & is definitely not her “personal opinion”, it is the BJP standing by Independent India’s first terrorist. In few years, Sri Sri Godse will also be recommended with a Bharat Ratna,” tweeted Owaisi after Pragya made her comment.

“All those people against whom a terrorism angle was established by the Kapur Commission are terrorists,” the MIM chief said.

Backing West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee who held BJP responsible for the ongoing Kolkata hustle, Owaisi said: “Why only West Bengal, natural justice & fair play demands it should have been for entire 7th Phase why only West Bengal, why not for Eastern UP too.”
