Sadhvi Pragya's Shocker: 'Break Legs of Daughters in Interfaith Marriages'

This special report focuses on the latest controversial statement from former BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur regarding interfaith marriages. The former Bhopal MP urged parents to take extreme measures against daughters who do not comply with their wishes. She is quoted in the bulletin as saying, 'Break the legs of daughters who do not obey.' The bulletin delves into the remarks, where she also lamented that a girl born as 'Lakshmi' grows up to become a 'mistress'. This is not the first time Thakur has been at the centre of a controversy; she was previously banned from campaigning by the Election Commission in 2019 for provocative statements. This latest incident has already drawn sharp criticism, with the Madhya Pradesh Congress condemning the inflammatory comments. The report anticipates further reactions from other political parties and the National Commission for Women.
