’Keep your knives sharp’: BJP MP Pragya Thakur’s advice to Hindus

Mangalore Today News Network

Shivamogga, Dec 26, 2022: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur on Monday said that Hindus have the right to respond to those who attack them and their dignity. The parliamentarian, known for her bold and controversial statements, also asked the Hindu community to "at least keep knives sharp" in their homes, arguing that everyone has the right to protect themselves.

 

"Keep weapons in your homes, if nothing else, at least knives used to cut vegetables, sharp...Don’t know what situation will arise when....Everyone has the right to self protection. If someone infiltrates our house and attacks us, giving a befitting reply is our right ," she said while pointing at the killing of Hindus activists, including Harsha of Shivamogga.

"Love jihad, they have a tradition of jihad, if nothing they do love jihad. Even if they love, they do jihad in that. We (Hindus) too love, love God, a sanyasi (hermit) loves his God," Pragya Thakur said while speaking at the Hindu Jagarana Vedike’s South Region annual convention in Karnataka’s Shivamogga.

"Sanyasi says in this world created by God, end all the oppressors and sinful, if not the true definition of love will not survive here. So answer those involved in Love Jihad the same way. Protect your girls, teach them the right values," she said.

Furthermore, Pragya Thakur also advised parents not to send their children to missionary institutions and stated that "by doing that, you will open the doors of old-aged homes for yourselves".

Instead, the politician suggested parents to do puja at home, read about dharma (religion) and shastra (weapon). "Teach your children about it, so that children know about our culture and values," she added.
