00:00The internet took potshots at former BGP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for once again making controversial remarks that spread communal hatred.
00:30That's what Pragya Singh Thakur told a gathering in Bhopal urging parents to go as far as breaking their daughter's legs if they visit the homes of non-Hindus.
00:39Speaking at a religious event in October 2025, Thakur warned against girls who don't follow values or disobey their parents claiming such harsh measures were for daughter's own better future.
00:50In a now viral video uploaded to Facebook, she went further saying
00:54If you don't understand your father's father, you won't do anything and you don't want to run away from home, you will be able to escape and escape and escape from these girls.
01:12This isn't the first time the former leader has made headlines for her divisive remarks.
01:16Known for her hardline views, Thakur once again finds herself at the center of a political and public firestorm.
01:23Her statements have drawn sharp criticism from the opposition.
01:26Congress spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta hit back, accusing the BGP of fueling communal hatred.
01:31He questioned the need of such rhetoric, especially when only seven cases of alleged religious conversions in Madhya Pradesh have actually led to convictions.
01:39While some see Thakur's comments as a warning rooted in cultural conservatism, others argue they promote gender violence,
01:45reinforce patriarchal control and dangerously blur the line between protection and oppression.
01:50But one thing's certain, her remarks have reignited debate around women's freedom, communal narratives and the role of leaders in shaping them.
