Ujjain: Hindu activist Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, who got a clean chit from the NIA in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case, has been allowed to take a dip in the Shipra river during the ongoing Simhastha Kumbh at Ujjain.
An official said that she will be taken to the Kumbh in the morning and the Bhopal central jail authorities have made all arrangements for her visit.
She will get police protection and an ambulance will accompany her, the official said.
Sadhvi Pragya had began an indefinite hunger strike last Monday to press her demand that she be allowed to take a dip in Shipra river at Ujjain during the ongoing Simhasth Kumbh. The authorities were not allowing her to travel to Ujjain on security grounds, she alleged.
Pragya, who was in Bhopal Central Jail, has now been shifted to the Pandit Khushilal Sharma Ayurveda Hospital in Bhopal for treatment.
According to Sadhvi Pragya's aides, her condition has gone from bad to worse. She is weak and her blood pressure has dipped below normal, her aides said and have taken up the matter with Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur.
In a letter to the President and the Prime Minister, the Sadhvi had threatened to fast unto death if her demands are not met by May 21.
The Simhasth Kumbh Mela in Ujjain commenced on April 22 and will end on May 21.
