Terror accused, hate-monger, BJP leader and Member of Parliament Pragya Singh Thakur has delivered another anti-Muslim hate speech in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.in the said speech, Thakur was reminiscing about the days where she, along with her many extremist peers, had led the Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992. Thakur, who is out on bail in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, has, time and again, openly spoken about her involvement in the Babri Majid structure, which had led to riots in Bombay where both Hindus and Muslims had died, and yet no action has been taken.
In her current speech, she told how she was willing to die during the demolition, and even repeated the derogatory and violence provoking slogan that had been raising by the Hindu karsevaks against the Muslim community. She further speaks about how she had raised the said slogan during a curfew, even as her extremist peers had warned her about the police arresting her, saying that on this fateful day she should be allowed to raise the said slogan and take pleasure in it.
The speech:
“Khood ke hataya bhi, aur uske baad humne uski deewar khadi ki. Iss sab mei humari bhoomika thi yeh humara saubhagya hai (we dug it up and removed it all, and then we also built a wall in its place. It was my honor that I was a part of that whole demolition.)”
“Lekin vaha jab bhaag daud hui, aur vaha bhi hungama shuru ho gaya. Hum sab jab jaa rahe the toh mere pitaji ne bola tha ab jaa rahe ho toh lautne ka moh nahi rakhna mann mei. Unhone kaha lautne ka moh mat rakhna mann mei samarpit hoke jao jo bhi hoga ab tum Ram ji ki ho. (people started running here and there at that time too. Before I had left my house, my father had told me that now that I am going there, I should not worry about coming back home. He had told me that do not think about coming back home, you belong to Lord Ram and you should be dedicated to him.)”
“Aur tabhi hum soch samajh kar gaye the ki jo kaam karenge jo prabhu Ram ji ka hoga, aur chale gaye toh bhi Ram ji ke hi honge. Isliye jab vaha phunche aur bach gaye, toh wapisi mei logo ne kaha naare nahi lagana naare nahi lagana pragya ji. Curfew lagg gaya tha buri tareeke se aur log bol rahe the naare nahi lagana police pakad legi, par humne vahi zor zor ke naare lagaye. (When I had gone there, I had already accepted the fact that whatever acts I commit there will be for Lord Ram, and even if I die, that will be for Lord Ram. That is why, when we got saved there, and while we were returning, people told me to not raise any slogans. A very strict curfew had been imposed, people told me that the police might arrest me if I raise any slogan, but I started raising slogan there and then only)”
She repeats the derogatory slogan calling for the genocide of Muslims in the name of Lord Ram in front of the whole audience as they cheered her.
“Maine kaha aaj bhi naare nahi lagwane doge kya aaj toh anand lene do aaram se. mandir toh vahi banega aaj toh naare lagane do (I told them that I want to take pleasure in raising these slogan today. The Ayodhya Ram temple will be constructed there only, today atleast I should be able to raise these slogans.)

Even during the year 2019, in an exclusive interview with AajTak, Sadhvi Pragya had openly said, “Why would we regret the demolition of the Babri Masjid? We are, in fact, proud of it. There were some waste products of the Ram temple and we removed it. This has awakened the self-respect of our country and we will construct a grand Ram temple.” She had also said that 26/11 Mumbai terror attack martyr Hemant Karkare was killed as she had cursed him for “falsely implicating her in the 2008 Malegaon blast case”.
She had said, “Hemant Karkare falsely implicated me [in Malegaon blasts] and treated me very badly. I told him your entire dynasty will be erased. He died of his karma.” Thakur was contesting for her Lok Sabha candidature from Bhopal at the time of making these statements, and had also received two notices from the Election Commission for making the above-mentioned remarks. Notably, the state of Madhya Pradesh is going into elections at the end of this year, for which Thakur is resorting to spreading hatred and her divisive ideologies to keep the public boiling and securing votes for the BJP party.
