New Delhi/IBNS: BJP MP Varun Gandhi has slammed the people who hailed Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse on the birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation.

He said they brought shame to the country with their irresponsible actions and  should be named and shamed publicly.

"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," said Varun Gandhi.

Varun Gandhi is not related to Mahatma Gandhi and is the son of BJP MP Maneka Gandhi and late Sanjay Gandhi, the eldest son of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

"We must not forget the respect that India has internationally is because of Mahatma Gandhi and the ideals that he represented. The people who are tweeting "Godse Zindabad" should be named and shamed publicly. The lunatic fringe must not be allowed to enter the mainstream," he said, according to media reports.

His comments came amid "Nathuram Godse Zindabad" (long live Nathuram Godse) trended on Twitter n the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
