BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankhule wrote a letter to Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi, demanding to dismiss Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole for comment against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and terming Mahatma Gandhi's assassination as 'vadh', a term used to refer to the slaying of evil.

Express disappointment over Patole's comment, Bawankule said that the Maharashtra Congress president insults by making such comments against important leaders of the country.
