On @TimesNow speaking on #SafooraZargar
1. Center did not oppose granting of bail to Safoora
2. Granting bail doesn’t define Safoora’s innocence
3. Political vendetta by Congress in case of Pragya Thakur and political magnanimity by BJP in case of Safoora
4. Pregnancy is not a disease! Sunaina Patel, the brave heart commando continues(?) to serve in Maoist infested Dantewada during her pregnancy despite seniors asking her to take leave
5. Strong women don’t hide behind bodily limitations to pause political/ideological battles
6. Fatwa agencies should stop distributing certificates of innocence to conspirators in riots. To raise slogans like शाहीन बाग़ तेरे खूँ से इंक़लाब आएगा while a new born baby was killed in the biting Delhi cold during protests by the दादी नानी of Shaheen Bagh is criminal!
7. Whether Safoora should have been granted bail is a matter that needs contextualisation. Sadhvi Pragya, despite her suffering as a cancer patient, was denied bail. Even when her father died, she was allowed only a day’s leave against her wish to spend 13 days with her mother.+
+Maulana Madni was allowed to attend his daughter’s wedding on bail. He was given a 30 days’ respite.
Madni was charged for his involvement in 1998 Coimbatore Bombings, 2008 Bangalore serial blasts, 2010 Bangalore stadium bombing!
P.S. I am not issuing any certificate to anyone
