Bhopal: BJP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon terrorist attack who is on bail on health ground, is seen in a viral video dancing with a group of women.
The video, shared by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath's Media Coordinator Narendra Saluja on Thursday, shows Thakur dancing to a song with a group of women at a Sindhi community function.
The video was shot while Thakur was campaigning in the Idgah Hills area of Bhopal on Monday. The participants made videos and even took selfies with Thakur on the occasion.
An accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, in which six people were killed, Thakur is presently out on bail. Interestingly, she was given bail by the Bombay High Court in April 2017 on health grounds.
According to the bail order, given by a high court bench headed by Justices Shalini Phansalkar Joshi and Ranjit More, she was "suffering from breast cancer" and was "unable to walk without support". She is being treated at an ayurvedic hospital.
Thakur also went to file her nomination seated on a wheelchair and had trouble reaching the first floor of the Collectorate, where the office of the returning officer was located. Watching the Collectorate's women staff struggle to carry her wheelchair up the flight of stairs, the returning officer himself came down to accept her papers.
Sadhvi Pragya Thakur was recently in news for abusing Hemant Karkare. Karkare, an IPS officer died during the 2008 Mumbai terros attack. He was Chief of Maharashtra ATS then and was among the first officer to reach to the terro hit spot back in 2008.
