Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, an accused in the Malegaon blast case and the murder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh pracharak Sunil Joshi on Tuesday claimed that she was innocent and had been framed by 'non-believers'.
The 38-year-old Pragya who was lying in an ambulance told mediapersons that she was a sanyasin who had not taken part in any conspiracy adding she was framed by some of the leading politicians.
"I am a patriot. I would live and die for the country," the Sadhvi said. She said that she still had pain in her back and yet doctors at the M Y hospital here had given a false report and discharged her.
When asked whether the Madhya Pradesh government had not made proper arrangements for her treatment, she said it was under the pressure of 'non-believers'. She was brought to Indore from Mumbai by train for a hearing in court at Dewas in connection with her alleged role in the killing of Sunil Joshi on Monday.
She flew back to Mumbai on Tuesday under the security of Maharashtra police.
