Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi chooses woman facing terrorism charges as election candidate by zebatweets

BHOPAL, India - For nearly a decade, Pragya Thakur was known mostly as the saffron-clad Hindu ascetic shuttling in and out of Indian courts, flanked by police, facing charges under an anti-terrorism law for plotting a bomb attack on Muslims.

Overnight, Thakur, who has been out on bail since 2017, emerged as a symbol of a Hindu nationalist movement that is showing increasing intolerance towards Muslims in the Hindu-dominated nation. “They are addressing a very extreme form of the Hindutva fold,” said Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, a New Delhi-based biographer of Modi, referring to the BJP’s Hindu-first ideology.

Born in a village in central India, she grew up to become a leader of a youth group linked to the BJP, and usually clad in a shirt and jeans, hair cropped short, came to be referred to as “didi”, or elder sister, her sister Upma said. “I was there, I had broken the structure, and I will go back to build the temple,” Thakur said in a campaign speech, echoing BJP’s promise to build a temple at the mosque site.Thakur, whose family says she is a cancer survivor, has often wept while describing the torture she claims she endured in custody.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... 'may be more' speculation disguised as news Cleaner India has to be clean in mind and thoughts too If it had not been for Modi, nobody would have attention to this issue.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... Best is he attempted to make such 'Cleaner India' which he succeeded too in this short period! Nobody gave any shit before that.. Prime Minister Modi is still in power even after losing the air war with Pakistan? Amazing. He must have old friends in power that are as old as India’s warplanes. Extraordinarily idiotic reporting even by standards. 'Many people in north and south India told Reuters that a lack of toilets near fields where farmers spend their day' Somebody traveling in the wilderness would defecate in the open if nature calls.
