Pragya Thakur (centre) dances at a wedding she organised
Last week BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur was caught on camera playing basketball in Bhopal, and now a video shows her dancing at a wedding ceremony. Both these videos have raised questions about her past claims of being too ill to appear for court hearings in the Malegaon bomb blast case.
According to NDTV report, Thakur had organised the wedding of two sisters from a poor family at her official residence. The father, a daily wager, was quoted by NDTV as saying, "I feel like I have been given a second life. I am very poor. I did not have enough to marry my daughters. But Pragya Thakur helped us. I pray to mother goddess for her long life. I am very happy and grateful." Narendra Saluja, Congress spokesperson in Madhya Pradesh, tweeted, "Whenever we see the Bhopal MP, sister Pragya Thakur, play basketball and walking without support or dancing happily like this, it makes us happy...?"
In January, the special National Investigation Agency court in Mumbai had granted exemption from physical appearance to her till further orders, after she filed an application seeking permanent exemption on medical and other grounds.
