Cancel Pragya Singh Thakur’s candidature: Sheila Dikshit

New Delhi: Congress veteran and former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit Friday demanded that the Election Commission “cancel” Pragya Singh Thakur’s candidature from Bhopal for calling Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathuram Godse a “patriot”. Dikshit alleged that PM Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah had “handpicked” Thakur as a party Lok Sabha candidate and said they should also be held “morally accountable” for her “highly condemnable statement”.
