Inhuman treatment meted out to Sadhvi Pragya in jail unfair, says Ramdev
PTI, Apr 23, 2019, 2:40 PM IST
Dehradun: Yoga guru Ramdev has come out in support of BJP’s Bhopal candidate and Malegaon blast case accused Pragya Singh Thakur, saying it was unfair to subject her to cruelty in jail for nine years on the basis of a suspicion.
“Sadhvi Pragya was made to suffer rigorous imprisonment for nine years. There is nothing wrong in restraining her if she makes an inappropriate statement but the inhuman treatment given to her in the jail purely on the basis of suspicion was not fair,” Ramdev told reporters in Haridwar on Monday.
Addressing BJP workers in Bhopal, Thakur had claimed that Karkare died during the attacks as she “cursed” him for torturing her.
Describing himself as someone who doesn’t belong to any particular political party, the yoga guru Monday said the country was facing all sorts of political, economic and religious challenges at present.
“After overcoming these challenges, the country will become a world leader by 2040,” he claimed.
Ramdev further said it was wrong to assume that poverty and unemployment were the only issues. “Ram and nationalism are equally important,” he added.
