After a Congress MLA threatened to ‘burn’ her over her remarks praising Nathuram Godse, BJP MP Pragya Thakur hit back on Saturday, 30 November, daring him to burn her alive when she reaches his home on 8 December.
She also said Congressmen have "experience" of burning people during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, PTI reported.
On Thursday, Congress MLA from Biaora in Madhya Pradesh Govardhan Dangi had blasted Thakur for her statement calling Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Godse 'a patriot' during a discussion on the Special Protection Group (SPG) bill.
"If Pragya Thakur sets foot here, we won't burn her effigy, we will instead burn her,” Dangi said, according to India Today.
The video of the speech went viral, forcing Dangi to apologise.
