Dharma will triumph over adharma - Sadhvi Pragya Thakur

NEW DELHI: Minutes after being nominated as BJP’s Bhopal candidate, Sadhvi Pragya Thakur lashed out at her Congress rival Digvijaya Singh, saying he “sowed the seeds” of defamation of “Sanatan Dharma”. “I will ensure that the saffron gets its due respect,” she told reporters. “Dharma will triumph over adharma,” she added.

Referring to her arrest in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, she alleged that “they (the then Congress government) misused the law, disrespected a woman, and tortured me unlawfully”. Thakur was granted bail in the Malegaon case in 2017. “I am a sanyasin (ascetic).

I will bring before the world how they tortured me,” said Thakur. “I will ensure that the country remains secure, and those who are talking against the nation should now beware,” she said. __TOI
