"The person (Thakur) is facing trial under terrorism Acts, but the BJP elded her from Bhopal deliberately," said the Arya Samaj scholar and social activist. Remarking that her very rst statement was against a martyr, Swami Agnivesh said: "It indicates the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah to nominate her is wrong. They should apologise to the nation and terminate her candidature." Sadhvi Pragya had termed Karkare's death while combating terrorists in the 2008 Mumbai attacks as a consequence of her curse. Karkare had questioned Sadhvi Pragya, lodged in the Mumbai jail, in connection with the 2008 Malegaon blast case. If a political party or its candidate seeks vote in the name of religion and supports communal violence, he/she could not be considered a religious person or a human being," Swami Agnivesh said. https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/national/agnivesh-raps-modi-bjp-for-fielding-pragya-thakur 1/4 5/6/2019 Agnivesh raps Modi, BJP for fielding Pragya Thakur On banning burqa (a long, loose garment covering the whole body worn in public by women in many Muslim countries), he said it should be disallowed across the world.
