Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur is a BJP politician and Hindutva activist. She was a prime target of UPA government to malign Hinduism. A web of malicious story was planted to implicate her in Malegaon Blast Case. However, NIA under UPA government couldn't even file a charge sheet against her, as there was absolutely no proof.
The Condition of Pragya During Congress Rule - Never Forgive, Never Forget
Pragya was tortured in an inhuman manner. According to her TV interviews, Digvijay Singh was the brain behind all that drama. Pragya is going to fight Lok Sabha election against Digvijay Singh from Bhopal. The result should be the most appropriate reply to Diggi Raja. It may be noted that Pragya Singh has been absolved under MCOCA. However, she is yet to found 'not guilty' under UAPA.
Profile of Sadhvi Pragya
Sadhvi was born in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh. Her father, Dr. Chandrapal Singh, was a well-known ayurvedic doctor who used to treat patients free of cost through natural herbs. He was quite popular in Bhind.
Dr. Chandrapal was also a god fearing Hindu. He used to recite Bhagwad Geeta daily and Pragya used to sit with him during that time. Gradually, Pragya developed deep interest in Hindu Philosophy and started to probe the spiritual world. She became a Sadhvi at a very young age, but continued to study. Pragya has done M.A. in History.
Pragya was also known for being quite a daring girl since her childhood days. The effect of Bhagwad Geeta could have been seen on her. She used to drive bikes and organize self-help groups for girls. She had aggressively campaigned for girls education and woman empowerment. In no time, she became quite popular in the Central part of India.
Pragya was also associated with the RSS, albeit indirectly. She was a member of Durga Vahini, the woman wing of the VHP.
Education Qualification of Sadhvi Pragya
Pragya was not as such a brilliant student during her school days. She was a wonderful orator and had the potential to win any debate on spirituality and Hinduism. However, she was not able to perform good at school exams. After completing her schooling, Pragya took admission in Lahar College, Bhind. She did B. A and M.A. in History from this very institute. While being in College, she had joined the ABVP and in no time became a prominent face of the student wing in her district.
Sadhvi Pragya was also known for igniting the fire of patriotism among youths. Her speeches used to be fiery and to the point. She used to be tough on anti-national and anti-national activities. She had an authority on Bhagwad Geeta and her speeches used to be laced with various stanzas of this Hindu Epic.
Sadhvi was also quite taking tough stand against terrorism actitivities which had become a norm during Manmohan Singh period. She used to ask Hindus to unite against this Islamic terrorism. However, it should be mentioned here that Sadhvi never urged her supporter to go for a battle against terrorism. She was only asking for ideological debate. She was also against Congress policy and unfortunately her stand against Congress led to her arrest and false implication.
Eight years have been passed. Pragya has remained in jail during this period without any chargesheet. She is critically ill and suffering from Stage 3 Breast Cancer.
Arrest and Torture of Pragya Singh
Pragya was arrested for her alleged involvement in the Malegaon blast case. Anti-Terrorist Squad of Maharashtra had found her bike on the crime scene. In fact, it is alleged that her bike was planted there. ATS arrested and then tortured her severely without even presenting her before magistrate.
According to her Interview in AAP ki Adalat by Rajat Sharma, Pragya was first beaten with leather belts by two male police officers. They then didn’t give her to eat anything for 24 hours. They were asking her to accept that she was behind Malegaon blast. She tried to convince them that she can never involve in killing of innocents. But, ATS, led by late Hemant Karkare, who was quite close to Sharad Pawar and Digvijay Singh, was not ready to listen. Pragya was asked to watch pornographic films/blue films along with other male under trials. ATS officers couldn’t take an affirmative statement from Sadhvi, though.
A disciple of Sadhvi Parga, Bhimbhai Pasricha, was asked to beat her by Karkare led ATS. Pasricha started to week bitterly and refused to comply with the order. In reply, officers beat him severely and a then the broken man under immense pain did apply minimum possible force on Sadhvi. At that time, both Sadhvi and Pasricha were weeping while ATS officers were laughing out loudly.
One officer questioned her about chastity. He asked how much time she had made physical relations. She was called a ‘randi’ by officers.
She had also presented the documents of the bike which proved that she had really sold that few years ago. The only link which she had with the blast was this bike which as per government records sold few years back. But, ATS was not ready to give any heed.
