Nupur Sharma’s remarks on Prophet Muhammad
Before Pragya’s comments on Sanatan Dharma, former BJP spokesperson, Nupur Sharma, made derogatory remarks against the Prophet during a TV news debate, following which India faced backlash from the Middle East and was left with a lot of explaining to do. Following the episode, Sharma and her colleague Naveen Kumar Jindal were suspended from the party.
