Bhopal, Apr 26: The EC (Election Commission) issued a third notice to Sadhvi Pragya for calling Congress candidate and former chief minister Digvijaya Singh a ‘terrorist’ during an election campaign in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore on Thursday.
During the campaign Pragya Thakur had allegedly said that a sanyasi (ascetic) is needed to eliminate a “terrorist”. The EC has asked for a comprehensive report from the Collector on her statements.
Earlier, a massive controversy had erupted on her statement about former Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare, where she said Karkare died during the terror attacks because she had cursed him.
The 48-year-old right-wing activist has been in the spotlight since Bharatiya Janata Party fielded her from Bhopal constituency in the ongoing Lok Sabha election against former Madhya Pradesh CM Digvijaya Singh.
