New Delhi: BJP MP Pragya Thakur’s nomination to the parliamentary committee on defence has the opposition up in arms against her and the BJP.
The Congress led the charge from its official handle but Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Jaiveer Shergill pack a harder punch. Did the BJP forget her “prior experience with weapons of mass destruction” or is that why they appointed her? Who knows…
आखिरकार मोदी जी ने प्रज्ञा ठाकुर को दिल से माफ कर ही दिया!
आतंकी हमले की आरोपी को रक्षा मंत्रालय की समिति में जगह देना उन वीर जवानों का अपमान है, जो आतंकवादियों से देश को महफ़ूज रखते हैं।https://t.co/wTjeur4Vpy

Ironic that Pragya Thakur is sitting on a “Defense Panel” given her prior experience with weapons of mass destruction. Government CLd find no better hand and no better fitting glove. Apparently most apposite choice as per govt

Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM, uses idiom to diminish BJP on NRC.
Khoda pahaad, nikla chooha. Now BJP wants to disown it, but find one all over India
Modi wants all Indians to yet again stand in line, detaining undocumented Indians & leaving minorities & the weak at the mercy of babus. Nowhere in the world are people put through such hardship https://t.co/HRdLBpZbiE

Here’s some unusual advice from Mr. Swamy for the students of Banaras Hindu University.
Can PTs inform me why some BHU students are opposing a Muslim from teaching Sanskrit when he has been selected by due procedure? India's Muslim DNA is the same as Hindus so common Hindus ancestors. If there is some regulation then change it
