Hegde’s tweet is in response to a tweet from another user who applauded Nathuram Godse for his bravery by sticking through his trail.
The tweet read, “Sure he murdered Gandhi but he didn’t hit & run. He surrendered & faced the trial with heroic courage & left a very powerful testament as to why he murdered Gandhi. I CONDEMN the murder but I admire Godse’s courage in facing the gallows, staying firm on his version of patriotism”.
Nathuram Godse had killed the Father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948.
Kamal Haasan on Monday had said that Nathuram Godse was Hindu, and was the first terrorist of independent India.
Responding to this, BJP’s Bhopal candidate Pragya Singh Thakur yesterday said that Godse was a “deshbhakt”. The BJP asked her to apologise on the comment.
