AFTER MLA’S THREAT, PRAGYA SLAMS CONG OVER ANTI-SIKH RIOTS

BHOPAL: After a Congress MLA threatened to “burn” her for her remarks praising Nathuram Godse, BJP MP Pragya Thakur hit back on Saturday, saying Congressmen have “experience” of burning people during the 1984 anti-sikh riots. Thakur is in the midst of a row over her remark about Godse during a discussion in the Lok Sabha on November 27. On Thursday, Congress MLA from Biaora in Madhya Pradesh Govardhan Dangi blasted Thakur for her statement. The video of the speech went viral, forcing Dangi to apologise. Thakur tweeted on Saturday, “Congressmen have old experience of burning people, from the Sikhs in 1984 to Naina Sahni (victim of 1995 `tandoor murder in Delhi) in the tandoor. @Rahulgandhi termed (me) terrorist and his MLA Govardhan Dangi will burn me. So, I am reaching Biaora at his residence in Multanpura at 4 pm on December 8, 2019. Burn me.”
