"My daughter cannot even kill a worm and this is not what is taught to her. She cannot not commit any such act," Sarla Devi, who came to meet her daughter at the women's jail in Byculla, Mumbai, told the media.
"The Congress government has put her in jail. Why was my daughter subjected to such hardships," she asked.
While speaking to reporters, Sarla Devi also said that even though her daughter was unwell, the government is not doing anything. "The Maharashtra government is not doing anything (for the treatment)," she said.
"I have written a letter to the President and the National Human Rights Commission. But I have not got any reply so far," she added.
Twelve persons, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit, were arrested for carrying out blast at Malegaon on September 29, 2008, killing six persons and injuring 100 others.
The accused have been booked under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, besides the Indian Penal Code.
The trial is yet to commence, as some of the accused have challenged the invocation of MCOCA in the case before the Supreme Court, which is pending.
