BJP fields terror tainted Pragya Thakur from Bhopal
Pragya Thakur Singh who is accused in the Malegaon blast case and who had recently made headlines with her remarks on Hemant Karkare will be contesting elections from BJP. This would be the first time that any political party will be giving a ticket to a terrorist.
Although she has not been yet acquitted, by fielding her from Bhopal BJP has gone back on its words of zero tolerance against terrorism. Thakur, facing trial under the draconian Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), is currently out on bail.
When asked about her the BJP leaders are ignoring the question and defending her saying, "innocent till proven guilty.”
