Pragya Thakur's 'knives' remarks: Will Karnataka Police take action against her?

A day after BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur asked the Hindu community to "at least keep knives sharp" in their homes, arguing that everyone has the right to protect themselves, Madhya Pradesh Congress demanded that a case of treason be registered against her for her remarks.
