Congress To Move Supreme Court Against Pragya Thakur For "Weapon" Remark

Pragya Thakur called on Hindus to at least keep the knives in their homes sharp, as everyone has the right to protect themselves.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur's remarks at a function in Karnataka's Shivamogga are a clear example of hate speech and he would move the Supreme Court against her.
Mr Ramesh said he would file a case against Ms Thakur in the Supreme Court as the police in Karnataka would not act against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP. Karnataka is currently being ruled by the BJP and the Assembly polls are due in the state early next year.
"BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur's remarks made in Karnataka are a clear example of hate speech and I would be moving the Supreme Court against her for making such remarks," the former Union minister told PTI.
He said Ms Thakur's remarks clearly seek to divide the society, while claiming that the local police would not act against her since the BJP is in power in the southern state.
