Mumbai, December 22: Uma Bharati met Sadhvi Pradnya Singh, the accused in Malegaon blast case at a hospital in Nashik and enquired about her health.
An ailing Singh is admitted to Ayurveda hospital in Ganeshwadi, Nashik, for the past two months.
Uma Bharati said: “I came to meet Sadhvi, as we are friends. As she is in hospital under treatment, I came to enquire about her health. She seems to be recovering and is under good treatment.
She has been physically tortured so much so that I think there are hardly any chances she will stand up in her life again. The way a Hindu Sadhvi has been treated on suspicion is unfortunate.
It is an irony that real criminals like Ajmal Kasab and Sanjay Dutt are treated like heroes and a sadhvi is beaten brutally on suspicion. We have decided to create a nation wide public awareness on this issue.”
