Despite a reprimand in May last year from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pragya Thakur continues to make controversial comments.
Pragya Thakur referred to Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, Nathuram Godse, as a deshbhakt (patriot) during a debate in Lok Sabha, prompting a protest from members of the opposition.
PM Modi later commented that while she may have apologized for her comments, he could never personally forgive her.
