New Delhi: Former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma who was suspended from the party following outrage over her comments on Prophet has been granted the licence to carry a personal gun.
Nupur Sharma had applied for a gun licence as she has been receiving death threats, a Delhi Police official confirmed the development on Thursday. In the middle of 2022, Nupur Sharma kicked up a storm triggering international repercussions after she made a derogatory comment about the Prophet on a television channel debate.
The party suspended her and distanced from the comment while several Islamic countries issued statements condemning the comment. Violent protests were witnessed in several parts of India demanding action against Nupur Sharma.
Several offshoot incidents followed the Nupur Sharma row as a 54-year-old chemist in Amravati was killed for a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma. In Udaipur, a tailor was hacked to death after he extended support to Nupur Sharma on social media.
