Maha Kumbh 2025: Nupur Sharma was spotted in Prayagraj, taking a holy dip in Triveni Sangam.

Nupur Sharma, the former BJP spokesperson whose remarks against Prophet Muhammad in 2022 incensed Indian Muslims and outraged Islamic nations, was spotted at Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh mela while taking a holy dip in Triveni Sangam.

Sharma’s remarks, made in a TV debate in May-end in 2022, had led to massive outrage. The Supreme Court had said that “her loose tongue has set the entire country on fire" and blamed her for “igniting emotions across the country".

The judges also observed that “her outburst was responsible for the unfortunate incident at Udaipur" – a reference to the beheading by two Muslim men of a Hindu tailor who had supported Sharma on social media platforms.

Following protests from several Islamic nations, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran, over her controversial remarks, the BJP suspended Nupur Sharma from the party.

In a statement, the BJP had said it was “against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion" and added that it did not “promote such people or philosophy".
