Reacting to a huge controversy over Pragya Thakur glorifying the Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that he will never be able to forgive her for insulting the father of the nation.

The Congress had slammed her for the remark, saying that it is an "insult to the country". The party had demanded an apology from Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and BJP boss Amit Shah.

“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 told news agency ANI.
