Pryagraj: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nupur Sharma took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam on Tuesday amid the ongoing Mahakumbh 2025.
She was seen chanting the name of Lord Shiva.
Sharma was suspended in June 2022 as the spokesperson for BJP after her remarks on a television show led to widespread uproar followed by violent protests in several parts of India demanding action against her. Protestors said that the BJP leader’s remarks about Prophet Mohammed, the founder of Islam, were in bad taste. There was also a diplomatic row with several Islamic countries like Iran and Qatar condemning her remarks.
The Supreme Court had granted protection to suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma from arrest in multiple FIRs. Meanwhile devotees continue to arrive in large numbers at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj to participate in the ongoing Mahakumbh, ahead of the Mahashivratri festival on Wednesday. The Mela, which has witnessed a historic turnout, will continue until February 26.
Drone visuals from the Triveni Sangam showed devotees taking a holy dip, marking the spiritual significance of the event. So far, over 62 crore devotees have participated, with more than 1.30 crore taking a dip on Monday alone.
