The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member and Member of Parliament (MP) Pragya Thakur was seen dancing and enjoying at a wedding. The wedding dance video of MP Pragya Thakur went viral on social media and gained a lot of criticism as she refused to appear for her hearing citing health issues.
However a week later, the BJP MP of the Lok Sabha was seen dancing in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
The latest video is from a twin wedding – held at the MP’s Bhopal residence – of young women from very poor families. Ms. Pragya Thakur, 51 was all happy and jolly.
The father of one of the brides, a daily-wage worker, said he was grateful to the Bhopal MP as he didn’t have the means to organise his daughter’s wedding. The videos received a lot of positive and negative comments. While positive comments were made by several generic people, the Indian National Congress (INC) leaders criticised her for not giving court appearances in the Malegaon blasts case citing ill health.
It did not take long for the video to go viral and Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Narendra Saluja posted both the videos on Twitter and sad whenever he sees sister Pragya playing basketball, walking steadily and dancing — without any assistance, he feels delighted. And then he puts a question mark.
On the 1st of July, Mr. Saluja had shared a video of Pragya Thakur shooting a basket and had written: “We had only just seen Bhopal MP Pragya Thakur in a wheelchair but today, we feel very happy to see her trying her hand at basketball at the Bhopal stadium…So far we knew she couldn’t walk or even stand properly because of an injury…? May god always keep her healthy…”
According to sources, Pragya Thakur is the guardian of two sisiters Chanchal and Sandhya, whom she got married off on Wednesday, the 7th of July, at MPs residence.
The MP has also been quoted as saying that she considers these two girls as her daughters and will continue to be the guardian of the couples.
Pragya Thakur, known for controversial comments that have often embarrassed her party BJP, is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts and is out on bail. She was in jail for nine years before she was granted bail in 2017.
