Congress furious over MP Pragya Thakur’s ‘knife’ statement, demands registration of ‘sedition’ case

Pragya Thakur Weapon Statement: Expressing strong displeasure over the ‘knife’ statement of BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the Madhya Pradesh Congress has demanded a case against her. Sadhvi Pragya had given a controversial statement in the Love Jihad case last day. He had said that people should keep sharp knives for cutting vegetables, so that when the time comes, the throats of the enemies can also be cut. His statement became increasingly viral on social media. Now the opposition has started besieging the BJP regarding this.

At the same time, BJP said in defense of the MP that Pragya Thakur had given this statement for the self-defense of women. The BJP MP said in a program being held in Karnataka on Sunday that Hindus have the right to reply to those who attack them and their dignity. He made this statement while talking about the killing of Hindu activists.

‘Talking about knife after keeping bomb in hand’
Attacking this statement of the BJP MP, MP Congress Media Department Chairman KK Mishra said that the Center should file a case against Pragya Thakur for ‘inciting people to violence’ and ‘sedition’. KK Mishra said, ‘The acts of both former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and now Pragya Thakur are similar. After holding a bomb in her hand, now she is talking about a knife.

For information, let us tell you that Pragya Thakur is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. On September 29, 2008, six people were killed and over 100 were injured when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle exploded near a mosque in Malegaon, a communally sensitive area in north Maharashtra.

‘Sadhvi Pragya’s statement was not related to any religion’
At the same time, BJP spokesperson Pankaj Chaturvedi said that Pragya Thakur had gone to meet a family, whose daughter was brutally murdered. He said, ‘We are seeing that in many places in the country our daughters and sisters are being treated inhumanely in the name of ‘Love Jihad’. They are being cut into pieces. Pragya Thakur’s statement is not related to any religion, but is related to the mental power of all sisters and daughters for self-defense.
