BJP member of Parliament from Pilibhit Varun Gandhi, who has been consistently backing agitating farmers, away from his party’s positioning on the issue, on Saturday asserted that “those tweeting ‘Godse zindabad’ are shaming the nation”.
“India has always been a spiritual superpower, but it is the Mahatma, who articulated our nation’s spiritual underpinnings through his being & gave us a moral authority that remains our greatest strength even today. Those tweeting ‘Godse zindabad’ are irresponsibly shaming the nation”, tweeted the MP, who has been away from election campaigns of the party and been mainly focussing on his parliamentary constituency.
His mother Maneka Gandhi, an eighth-time Lok Sabha member and former Union Minister, was elected to the lower house from Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, in 2019 elections.
