NEW DELHI: Taking a dig at the BJP and RSS, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that they both are "god-se" lovers, an apparent reference to the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, Nathuram Godse ."I finally got it. The BJP and the RSS...Are not God-Ke Lovers. They are God-Se Lovers," the Congress chief tweeted.The tweet came amidst furore over BJP leader Pragya Singh Thakur 's comment where she had termed Nathuram Godse "a patriot". Though Pragya, who is contesting on a BJP ticket in the Lok Sabha polls from Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal constituency, later apologised for her comment, it was enough for the opposition to launch an all-out offensive on BJP.A day after Pragya's remark, two more BJP leaders added fuel to the raging controversy by endorsing Nathuram Godse .BJP's MP from Karnataka Nalin Kumar Kateel compared Godse with former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi."Godse killed one, Kasab killed 72, Rajiv Gandhi killed 17,000. You judge who is crueler in this??" Kateel tweeted on Thursday, equating Godse, 26/11 convict Ajmal Kasab and Rajiv Gandhi.Union minister Anantkumar Hegde, who also found himself in the news with a purported tweet justifying Godse's action, claimed his account was hacked."My Twitter account has been breached twice in the past one week and certain tweets have been posted on my timeline which has been discarded and deleted. Regret the posts attributed to me.""My account was hacked since yesterday. There is no question of justifying Gandhi ji's murder. There can be no sympathy or justification of Gandhi ji's murder. We all have full respect for Gandhi ji's contribution to the nation," he posted.The party went into damage control, as it feared that the comments by the three could hurt the party's image and its poll prospects in the last 59 seats that vote on Sunday.On Friday, BJP president Amit Shah said the party has taken serious note of the statements from Union minister Anantkumar Hegde, Pragya Thakur and its Karnataka MP Nalin Kumar Kateel."They have withdrawn their statements and also apologised. However, their remarks are against the decorum of public life and the BJP and also against the party's ideology. Taking serious note of their remarks, the party has decided to send them to the disciplinary committee," Shah said on Twitter.Following Pragya's remark Congress leader Kapil Sibal questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on Pragya's remarks and said he can only pray for the country.In a tweet, Sibal said, "When Sadhvi Pragya says: 'Godse a Deshbakht' and Modi is silent with Vidyasagar's statue a victim of the violent I can only pray for my country and hope that one day the silent majority will keep violence at bay."
