The saffron-robed Pragya Thakur, after all, is a key accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast that killed six people and left over a hundred wounded. That sense of shock deepened when Pragya Thakur proudly claimed that the late chief of the Maharashtra ATS, Hemant Karkare, had met his death because she had cursed him. But that did not deter Pragya Thakur from exulting over his death and taking credit for it. Yet, barring a bland statement praising Karkare’s bravery, the BJP refused to reprimand Pragya Thakur in any way. But like the decision to anoint the hate-spewing “Yogi” Adityanath as the UP chief minister, with the choice of “Sadhvi” Pragya Thakur, the Modi regime has only bared its own terrifying saffron fangs.
