Strongly objecting to Muslims' protest in large numbers against French president Emmanuel Macron in Bhopal on Thursday, BJP member of parliament from Bhopal, Pragya Thakur called them vidharmi (heretic).
Thakur speaking to the media persons in the city on Friday expressed strong resentment over such activities.
“There are no dearth of traitors in Bhopal who are hellbent on destroying the nation. Provisions should be formulated to rein in such elements,” an anguished Thakur said.
Thousands had protested against Macron’s alleged remarks against “Islamic radicalism’ at Iqbal Maidan in Bhopal on Thursday. The protesters were led by Congress MLA Arif Masood. Why can’t they engage in such activities in China as all follow what rules are formulated there and India should also do the same formulating stringent norms, said Thakur. “Who are the terrorists? Why this section always. Wherever this community is present, the heretics are being punished.”
Calling the protest treason, Thakur urged CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan to act against the same and asked Congress president Sonia Gandhi and MPCC head Kamal Nath to clarify their stand on the MLA’s act. Besides, senior BJP leader Uma Bharti also took to twitter to call the protest led by Congress MLA ‘treason’. She also sought a clarification from Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi and Kamal Nath on the protest.
