BJP legislator calls for ‘killing Muslims’, urges people to keep knives at home

BJP Member of Indian Parliament Pragya Singh Thakur, while addressing a public gathering has urged her followers to sharpen the knives they have at home. The MP, representing Bhopal Parliamentary segment in Madhya Pradesh, told the community to at least keep the knives in their homes sharp, as everyone has the right to protect themselves.

“Keep weapons in your homes. At least keep the knives you use to cut vegetables sharp. Don’t know what situation will arise when. Everyone has the right to protect themselves. If someone infiltrates our house and attacks us, it is our right to respond to them. Just like how knives cut vegetables, it will also chop mouths and heads,” she said in the video.

Although it is not clear who she was referring to as enemies, Twitter users are pointing out that she is referring to Muslims as enemies.
