Summary:
Bhopal, Oct 16 (PTI) After a viral video showed her playing kabaddi, Bhopal"s BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, who was confined to a wheelchair for a long time and had obtained bail in the 2008 Malegaon blast case on medical grounds, described the man who shot and circulated the clip as "Ravana" and said his old age and next birth will get spoiled.
Criticising the BJP leader over her remarks, the Congress said she follows the ideology of the demon king and of those who represent the evil.
Thakur made the 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).
