“When will you break the legs of the daughters of Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Dr Subramanian Swamy ?” : K K Mishra

K K Mishra’s ludicrous challenge to Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur over ‘love jihad’ remarks

Congress leaders K.K. Mishra and Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur

Bhopal — On the eve of Diwali, former MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur urged Hindus to intervene if a Hindu girl attempted to marry someone of another faith, warning, “If she will not listen, break her legs” . In response, Congress leader K K Mishra posted on X asking whether Sadhvi intended to go and break the legs of daughters from the households of L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Ram Lal (an RSS functionary’s nephew), BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy, and the wives of a dozen other BJP figures — since, he pointed out, these women too have married men of other faiths.

Mishra challenged Sadhvi directly: who are “people of other faiths” ? If you have the courage, don’t stop at their feet — break their hands as well. Do you have the nerve, or will you only make empty threats ?

Editorial Perspectives

• Since Sadhvi Pragya Singh’s appeal has not been digested well, a Congress leader has resorted to this absurd provocation in apparent defence of so-called “love jihadis” . Sadhvi’s appeal is aimed squarely at Hindus — and however many farcical challenges Congress leaders toss about, they will gain nothing from it !

• Neither the daughters of L K Advani nor those of Murli Manohar Joshi have ever married a Muslim. Therefore, for making these false statements and defaming them, Mishra should be charged and imprisoned !
