Malegaon Terror Attack Accused Pragya Thakur To Be A Part Of Defence Ministry Panel

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.

So terror accused will now be telling our soldiers what to do. What a great fall India. Utter nonsense.#Defence #pragyasinghthakur #ShamefulIndia

Henceforth our Armed Forces won’t be needing modern missiles like Brahmos, Agni etc. A SHRAAP by SAADHVIji will suffice. #pragyasinghthakur #modihaitomumkinhai

Terror accused Pragya Thakur is nominated to the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Defence while citizens are arbitrarily slapped with PSA, sedition etc. etc.

The world’s largest democracy and it’s collective conscience.

Brilliant.

So happy to see #PragyaThakur on getting nominated to Parliamentary Panel on Defence. Who knows better than her on terror. Subject matter expert should be on that panel and #pragyasinghthakur is the right choice. It’s a masterstroke by PM #Modi. #ModiHaiTohMumkinHai

PM said he wouldn’t forgive or talk to Pragya Ji, but party can offer anything to her even member of national defence panel.#pragyasinghthakur

#pragyasinghthakur, still a terror accused, is now on the parliamentary committee on defence! Maybe our govt wants to get an ‘insider perspective’. Did she ever apologise for her Godse remarks? Modiji said he will never forgive. Reward or punishment u decide. #SabTheekHai

Pragya Thakur is still under trial under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
