BJP’s Giriraj Singh Calls Godse Nation’s ‘Saput’ In A Counter Reply To Owaisi Over Social Media Row

Taking a dig at AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, BJP leader Giriraj Singh, called Nathuram Godse a “saput” of India. If Godse is Gandhi’s killer, he is also the nation’s son, according to Giriraj Singh, who is in charge of rural development and panchayati raj. His comments occurred at a time when a political fight broke out over social media posts related to Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan.

Godse is Nation’s Son: Giriraj Singh

While talking to reporters, “If Godse is Gandhi’s killer, he is also the nation’s son. He was born in India, and he was not an invader like Aurangzeb and Babar. Whosoever feels happy to be called the son of Babar, that person can’t be the son of Bharat Mata.”

What did Fadnavis Say?

Giriraj Singh’s comments came after Hyderabad MP Owaisi responded to Devendra Fadnavis’s statement about “Aurangzeb ki auladein” in Maharashtra. Fadnavis said, “Suddenly, in some districts of Maharashtra, sons of Aurangzeb took birth. They keep the status of Aurangzeb and show their posters. Because of this, there are tensions. Questions arise. Where do these sons of Aurangzeb come from? Who are behind this? We will find this out.”

Owaisi’s reply to Fadnavis

As a counter reply Owaisi said, “Maharashtra’s Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis said ‘Aurangzeb ke aulaad.’ Do you know everything? I didn’t know you (Fadnavis) were such an expert. Then you should know who the children of Godse and Apte too. Who are they?”

Curfew was imposed in Kolhapur

In retaliation to Owaisi, Giriraj Singh called Nathuram Godse a “saput” of India and asserted that those who take pride in identifying themselves as the offspring of Babar and Aurangzeb cannot be true sons of mother India. Following the violent clashes between two groups over contentious social media posts about Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan, a curfew was imposed in Kolhapur on Wednesday.

TMC MP Saugata Roy’s Remark

Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy called the remark communal and said, “My reaction is total rejection of what Giriraj Singh said. He has made a communal statement, he praised a person who killed the father of the nation. ‘Babar ki Aulad’ is a term used by communal people…we reject it. He called Mughal emperors as the people against India.”
