A Congress MLA from Madhya Pradesh has threatened Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Thakur that he will burn her alive is she enters the state.

Biaora MLA Govardhan Dangi made a controversial statement against Pragya Thakur and said that they will burn he alive if she sets her foot in Madhya Pradesh.

Dangi made the comments following Pragya Thakur's remark in Parliament during the discussion on Special Protection Group (SPG) Bill on Wednesday in which she called Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse, a patriot.

Bhopal MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur's statement in the Lok Sabha has stirred a political storm with the Opposition on Thursday staging a walkout in the Parliament and BJP condemning the remarks.

On Thursday, there were demonstrations against Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in her parliamentary seat Bhopal.
