Malegaon Blast  

Abhinav Khare deep Dives into Sadhvi Pragya Thakur's endless controversies. Even an official reprimand from the Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn’t deter Sadhvi Pragya Thakur from making provocative statements on extremely sensitive situations. 
 

The NIA has moved a special court seeking in-camera trial of the 2008 Malegaon blast case claiming that "unwarranted publicity" to the proceedings can damage "communal harmony". Security forces have recovered a Pakistan-made mine and a massive cache of arms from along the Amarnath Yatra route, the Army said on Friday. Watch today's top headlines on MyNation in 100 seconds.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed an application before special court judge seeking in-camera trial of the 2008 Malegaon blast case under the provision of the NIA Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The four, who are in jail since their arrest in 2013, had approached the high court in 2016 after a special court rejected their bail pleas in June that year.

Thakur’s candidature — a direct threat to Digvijay Singh of the Congress—from the high-profile Bhopal seat had ruffled a lot of feathers as she is an accused in the Malegaon Blasts case

Former anti-terrorism squad chief Hemant Karkare was killed along with two other senior police officers while fighting terrorists during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in November 2008
 

While Sadhvi Pagya's choice is contentious, the Congress which is crying itself hoarse on the matter has no real moral ground to stand for its track record is dubious. To bring this up is not 'whataboutery', but just pertinent comparison. For, it has made Kamal Nath, whose role in the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 is too notorious to be overlooked, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. It is an abstruse technicality that is saving him

The application before the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Mumbai was filed by Nisar Sayeed, who lost his son in the blast in 2008.

 

 

 

Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, along with five other people, was accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, which killed 10 people and injured 80 more. However, the National Investigation Agency said that there wasn’t sufficient evidence against her and dropped all charges.

Under the UAPA, the accused have been charged with being part of a terrorist act, and under IPC they have been charged with criminal conspiracy and murder.
