New Delhi: In a recent viral video clip, BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur from Bhopal was seen playing Kabbadi on the premises of a Kali temple. The video took social media users by surprise as Thakur was confined to the wheelchair for a long time and had obtained bail in the 2008 Malegaon blast case on medical grounds.

Now, the MP has termed the man who shot and circulated the clip as “Ravana” and said his old age and next birth will get spoiled.

Pragya Thakur made this statement while speaking during a Dussehra programme in Bhopal’s Sant Nagar (Bairagarh), a Sindhi community-dominated area, on Friday night.

“I went for offering aarti (at a Durga pandal) two days back, when some sportsmen playing on a ground requested me to conduct a (kabaddi) raid. A small clip of this was captured and shown in the media,” she said.

“If someone fretted and fumed, it was Ravana among you, some Sindhi brother…someone who is a big enemy (of mine). I am not his enemy, but he considered me as his enemy. I don’t know what precious thing I snatched from him…But Ravana can be anywhere,” she added.

“I am telling the person, whose sanskaras have got spoiled, to mend them. If you don’t, your old age and next birth will also get spoiled because whenever anyone has clashed with the patriots, revolutionaries and above all saints, neither Ravana or Kansa survived, nor will the ‘adharmi‘ or ‘vidharmi‘ of the present be saved,” she said.

Criticizing Thakur over her remark, state Congress spokesperson K K Mishra said, “Those who follow the ideology of Ravana, see the demon king everywhere. The Bhopal MP follows the ideology of those who represent the evil.”

Earlier, a video of her taking part in a Garba dance during the just-concluded Navratri festival had emerged.
