BJP MP and one of the prime accused in the Malegaon blasts case, Pragya Singh Thakur has been nominated to the 21-member Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Defence.
According to The Quint, she had been granted bail by the Bombay High Court after citing health-related issues in 2017.
She had once claimed that Maharashtra ATS Chief Heman Karkare, who had been killed during the 26/11 attacks had lost his life due to her curse. She had also once called Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse a patriot.
So naturally, her nomination is receiving a lot of flak, especially from Twitter.
Pragya Thakur is still under trial under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
