Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said her comments are shocking... he does not waste his time on Pragya Thakur.. his party has already reacted on it... However, in a tweet, Rahul Gandhi said, "Terrorist Pragya calls terrorist Godse, a patriot. A sad day, in the history of India’s Parliament."
"They (BJP) gave her a ticket and brought her to the parliament, what will happen by not allowing her in parliamentary party meetings? She should not be allowed to sit in parliament till she apologises, we will demand a censure motion," said Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
Speaking on Pragya Thakur's remarks, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, "If someone considers Nathuram Godse as a 'deshbhakt', then our party condemns it. Mahatma Gandhi is an idol for us, he was our guiding light and will remain so."

"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," JP Nadda said.
