New Delhi: In the latest development Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur controversy involving Nathuram Godse, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said he will never forgive Sadhvi for insulting Mahatma Gandhi by calling Nathuram Godse a patriot. "The statements given about Gandhiji or Godse are very bad and are wrong for the society. Though she (Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur) apologised but I will never forgive her," Prime Minister Modi said in an interview with News24 TV channel.
Congress leader Kapil Sibal had earlier on Friday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on Sadhvi Pragya's remarks on Nathuram Godse. Kapil Sibal tweeted, "When Sadhvi Pragya says 'Godse a Deshbakht' and Modi is silent with Vidyasagar's statue a victim of the violent. I can only pray for my country and hope that one day the silent majority will keep violence at bay."
