The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Thursday, removed Pragya Singh Thakur from parliament’s defence panel.

The decision came after BJP MP Pragya Thakur referred Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse as a ‘deshbhakt in Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

BJP Working President J P Nadda condemned Thakur’s remarks in the Parliament and said that she would not be allowed to participate in the Parliamentary party meetings.

“BJP doesn’t back such statements or ideology. We have decided that Pragya Singh Thakur will be removed from the consultative committee of defence, and in this session, she will not be allowed to participate in the parliamentary party meetings,” said JP Nadda.

Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that he did not want to ‘waste time’ seeking action against Pragya Singh Thakur for her reported reference to Nathuram Godse as ‘deshbhakt’. Earlier, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi said that the party has already said what needed to be said in the matter.
