Hitting out at BJP for reports that Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts, would contest Lok Sabha election on the saffron party’s ticket, former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said according to these guys, terror has no religion when it comes to saffron fanatics but otherwise all Muslims are terrorists.
“Imagine the anger if I’d field a terror accused. Channels would’ve gone berserk by now trending a mehboobaterrorist hashtag! According to these guys terror has no religion when it comes to saffron fanatics but otherwise all Muslims are terrorists. Guilty until proven innocent,” Mehbooba, who is the president of Peoples Democratic Party, wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts, on Wednesday said she would contest the national election as a BJP candidate and “win comfortably too”. She will contest from Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal, where former chief minister Digvijaya Singh is the Congress candidate, reports said. (UNI)
