Amid the controversy generated by Sadhvi Pragya’s remarks on Nathuram Godse, rebel Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kapil Mishra on Friday stirred a row by saying that if Nathuram Godse had not killed Mahatma Gandhi then perhaps Bapu would not have been considered so great and big by this country.
In a series of tweet on Friday, Mishra said, “If Godse had not killed Bapu then perhaps Bapu would not have been considered so great and big by this country. Those who are ruling by becoming fake Gandhi perhaps would not be there today.”
Mishra who is now a BJP supporter, in another tweet said, “If one has to choose between Godse and Bapu , then India will always choose Bapu, but, If choice is between Sadhvi Pragya and Digvijay Singh then every Indian will choose Sadhvi Pragya. This is a simple and plain Truth.”
Notably, Mishra’s tweet came amid controversy on the statement of BJP Bhopal candidate Pragya Singh Thakur on Mahatma Gandhi.
BJP’s Bhopal Lok Sabha candidate and Malegaon blast accused Pragya Thakur on Thursday lauded Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse as a patriot, sparking an outrage from the Opposition. However, the BJP has distanced itself from pro-Godse remarks.
