Bhopal: Addressing the meeting, Pragya Thakur made an appeal to give befitting reply to bantadhar. She recalled the role that Digvijaya Singh had played in building the narrative on Hindu fundamentalists. “The seed that he sowed… linking Hindutva and saffron to terrorism… it was an insult and that will be an issue… I will fight to get respect for the saffron,” she said.
We will unitedly fight against the people who are conspiring against the nation. We will win this ‘Dharm Yuddh’ (crusade),” she said. “After spending 10 years in jail due to Congress conspiracy, I have come here to fight the political and religious war,” she said, blaming the Congress for the trial in the Malegaon case in which she has been charged as an accused.
Pragya announced she had become a sadhvi in 2007 at the Allahabad Kumbh and was ordained by the popular seer Swami Avadheshanand Giri, the head of the powerful Juna Akhada.
