Terrorist, go back: NSUI workers, students tell BJP's Pragya Thakur

Apparently, two students Shreya Pandey and Manu Sharma were protesting as they were not allowed to take examinations over short attendance.

They were protesting since Tuesday night with one of them alleging that the head of the department behaved with her "inappropriately".

Pragya wanted to have a word with them, but her attempt sparked another controversy she clearly wasn't prepared for.

As Pragya arrived at the campus, dozens of students raised slogans of "aatankwadi vapas jao (terrorist, go back)". She tried to talk to one girl but sloganeering drowned her words.

About the incident, NSUI President Vivek Tripathi said, "NSUI workers and university students did not allow Pragya Thakur to enter the campus as she was playing politics with issues related to students."

The situation at the campus became tensed after BJP supporters, who accompanied Pragya, also raised slogans. Normalcy returned only after cops intervened.

For those unaware, the MP is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case in which six people lost their lives.

Out on bail on health grounds, Pragya defeated Congress' stalwart Digvijaya Singh by over 3 lakh votes in the summer elections.

Later, an indignant Pragya said that the words used against her were illegal and indecent.

She revealed she had gone to the varsity on Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon's request.

"I returned to the varsity campus and persuaded the girls to call off their protest. It was when some NSUI workers raised indecent slogans," she said and promised to take the legal route.

This row comes days after Pragya's SpiceJet episode, wherein she had an altercation with the crew after being denied a seat of her choice.

When the ruckus delayed the take-off from Delhi, a flier reminded Pragya that since she is a politician, she shouldn't create problems in the lives of people.

Meanwhile, SpiceJet said it asked Pragya to switch seats over safety concerns.
