'Muslims attacking Hindus': Malegaon blast accused Pragya Thakur on Pahalgam terror attack
BHOPAL: Known for her provocative remarks, 2008 Malegaon blast accused and former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur described the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack as 'an attack by Muslims on Hindus.' She made the remark while addressing a gathering during the 'Pratap Parakram Yatra' organised by the right-wing Hindu outfit Karni Sena Bharat to mark Maharana Pratap Jayanti in Indore on Thursday. 'The manner in which the terrorists killed innocents after ascertaining their religious identities and widowed our sisters, the attack should be called an attack by Muslims on Hindus,' the former Lok Sabha MP said. 'Whenever such attacks take place, then Hindus should also attack Muslims and Muslim terrorists,' she added. 'The situation today is similar to what was when Maharana Pratap bravely fought the Mughals. Similarly, the Mughals are still working at cutting us and our country. We'll have to stand for ourselves in such a situation.' 'All our great rulers, including Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Maharaj and Prithviraj Chauhan have shown us the way to never address enemies as bhai (brother). But now-a-days people don't address their own brothers as Bhai. They instead address the vidarmhis (those from other religious beliefs) as bhai. Keep this in mind that the day you stop calling them Bhai, you'll be safe,' Thakur said in the long speech. Thakur also praised the Indian Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor. 'People asked why the war was stopped. Always remember war is fought among equals, an elephant never fights a dog,' she said. BJP MLA from Indore-2, Ramesh Mendola, was also present on stage at the event.

'Chop Hands, Gouge Eyes': Madhya Pradesh MLA Seeks Strict Punishment Against 'Love Jihad'
Last Updated: BJP MLA Usha Thakur stated that criminals who indulge in 'love jihad' should be punished by having their "eyes gouged out and hands chopped off". Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Usha Thakur on Thursday demanded for a Sharia-like punishment for those indulging in 'love jihad'. The MLA in Indore further stated that criminals who violate the law should be punished by having their 'eyes gouged out and hands chopped off". She further stated that Sharia, the traditional Islamic law, has a provision for such harsh punishments for such criminals. Notably, the term 'love jihad' is used by right-wing organisations to claim that Muslim men lure women of other religions and marry them in order to convert them to Islam. The ruling party MLA who represents Mhow in Indore district stated that such criminals who act against humanity and morality should be punished as per the Sharia law. 'If these people are openly violating the anti-love jihad law, then according to Sharia, their eyes should be gouged out and their hands should be chopped off. I think there is a provision for such strict punishment in Sharia for thieves, characterless people and criminals who spoil the lives of other people," Thakur was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. She further warned that if such evil people are caught (by the police), they will not be spared. 'Their houses, property, everything will be confiscated and they will roam on the road as beggars. Only then will they stop doing such demonic acts," she added. First Published: May 29, 2025, 18:48 IST

Madhya Pradesh BJP MLA says ‘chop hands, gouge eyes' of those guilty of ‘love jihad'
Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Usha Thakur has called for a Sharia-like punishment for 'criminals' indulging in love jihad. Speaking to news agency PTI on Thursday, the BJP MLA in Indore stated that criminals who violate the law by indulging in 'love jihad' should have their 'eyes gouged out and hands chopped off.' 'Sharia, the traditional Islamic law, has a provision for such harsh punishments for such criminals, ' she said. The former state culture minister further told PTI that the 'criminals' involved in the alleged love jihad cases in Indore and Bhopal 'very maliciously say they are doing 'sawab' (virtuous) work.' "If these people are openly violating the anti-love jihad law, then according to Sharia, their eyes should be gouged out and their hands should be chopped off. I think there is a provision for such strict punishment in Sharia for thieves, characterless people and criminals who spoil the lives of other people," Thakur said. "If such evil people are caught (by the police), they will not be spared. Their houses, property, and everything will be confiscated, and they will roam the road as beggars. Only then will they stop doing such demonic acts," she added further. Earlier this month, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed by the Madhya Pradesh police to investigate alleged cases of love jihad in the state. This SIT probe comes after the Bhopal rape and blackmail case, in which a group of men were accused of raping college students while hiding their religious identity.
