Pragya Thakur also said no 'adharmi' can become pious by taking up 'Narmada parikrama', an apparent attack on Digvijaya Singh, who had undertaken the 3,300-km Narmada parikrama in 2017.
Lashing out at a Madhya Pradesh Congress legislator for the posters during the COVID-19 pandemic, which claimed that Bhopal's BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur had gone missing, the latter has said "such Congressmen and traitors" have no place in India and only patriots will stay in the country.
Congress's Bhopal South MLA P C Sharma, who was present at the programme held on Friday night where Pragya Thakur made the remarks targeted at him, left the event midway in a huff.
During the programme, Pragya Thakur described Hindus as patriots and also took a veiled swipe at Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh, saying that no person can become pious by taking up "Narmada parikrama" (circumambulation of Narmada river).
"Animals also have feelings. When its offspring dies or falls sick, the animal cries. But they are worse than animals. Do not treat the sick as sick. At first, they tortured (me) and when I get sick, they put up my missing posters," Pragya Thakur told a gathering during the programme held on the occasion of Dussehra on MVM Ground in the city.
