The BJP, which nominated the terror accused Pragya Singh Thakur to contest the Bhopal seat as if there was no other worthy person in the party to be fielded, should hang its head in shame for the encomium paid by its ‘sadhvi’ nominee to a murderer (“Pragya calls Godse ‘patriot’, whips up storm”, May 17). If the saffron party is truly ‘national’ and respects the Father of the Nation, it should not allow her to contest the election. She has lost all moral right to be a Member of Parliament.

Gandhi is among the most revered leaders not just in India but in the world. He is the symbol of our nation. It is deeply upsetting that the assassin of Gandhi has been called a patriot. I also can’t understand why politicians are talking about past events when there are so many issues in the country today to debate.
