Bhopal: A ruling Congress MLA of Madhya Pradesh has triggered an usavoury row by threatening to burn alive controversial BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur for portraying Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse as patriot.
MLA from Biora in Rajgarh district Gobardhan Dangi dared Pragya to set foot in his constituency, saying, “We will burn her alive”.
“We will not just burn her effigy…. If she sets foot here, we will burn her alive”, the lawmaker said while staging a demonstration in Rajgarh late on Thursday in protest against the attempt by Pragya to glorify Godse.
Meanwhile, two people, who had proclaimed them as ‘devotees’ of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse, were on Friday arrested in Gwalior for hurting sentiments of followers of the Father of Nation.
