New Delhi, May 16 (TIWN): Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal and Malegaon blast accused Pragya Thakur has spoken again. This time, responding to Kamal Haasan’s remarks on Nathuram Godse. Haasan had called Godse the first Hindu terrorist.

Pragya Thakur, when asked to respond on the actor-turned-politician’s statement on Thursday, 16 May, said Godse was, is and will remain a ‘deshbhakt’ (patriot).

Thakur further said those calling him a terrorist should instead look within and that they will be given a befitting reply in the elections.
