Shivamogga(KARNATAKA) : In a riotous outburst, the BJP MP Pragya Thakur called upon Hindus to keep weapons at home sharpened for beheading "enemies" "Every Hindu has the right to fight those that attack their dignity.’ came the veiled statement from the Bhopal MP. She was addressing the regional seminar of Hindu Jagaran Vedike – a radical Hindua organisation – in Shivamogga.
In a direct attack on minorities, the MP said "They have a tradition of Jihad. We must payback those indulging in Love Jihad. It is our right to fend off those who intrude our home. Knives used to slice vegetables can also be used to cut off heads off,” said Pragya without disguising her call for atrocity. She expanded the inflammatory spree to the next-on-list community. “Educating children in missionary institutions erode the country’s culture,” said Pragya.
Pragya Thakur is accused in the Malegaon blast case that claimed the lives of 10 people. She later eked out a bail claiming she was unable to walk by herself. Visuals of her dancing and playing kabbadi later surfaced on social media. Pragya was named in the Malegaon case by Maharashtra’s anti-terrorist squad chief Hemant Karkar. In her speech in Shivamogga, Pragya said Karkar had died from her curse.
