After his controversial remark on Ram temple construction in Ayodhya last week, Telengana BJP lawmaker T. Raja Singh sparked off another outrage after he allegedly abused a particular community during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations at Bairagarh on the outskirts of Bhopal on Friday. As the video of his speech went viral on social platforms, Madhya Pradesh Congress demanded that a case be filed against the legislator.
Raja, who is the MLA from Goshamahal constituency in Hyderabad had come to Bhopal to participate in a procession organised by Marutinandan Sangathan on the occasion of Hanauman Jayanti on Friday. In presence of local BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma, Raja allegedly abused members of a community for not singing Vande Mantram.
Raja said that those not willing to sing Vande Mataram should be sent to Pakistan border for two days. He said even Pakistan did not welcome such people. “They are called Muhajir or outsiders,” he added.
The state Congress party has written to Director General of Police along with the video clip which had gone viral. Party chief spokesperson K.K. Mishra demanded immediate arrest of Raja so that he can not escape from Bhopal.
“A case must be registered against the organisers of the function and those present on the dais as the hate-speech has destroyed the peaceful atmosphere of the city,” he said.
Bhopal police have, however, not yet taken any decision on the matter, a police official said.
Raja was booked in Hyderabad last week for allegedly making hate-speech on Ram Navami. He said that all those who came in the way of making Ram Mandir in Ayodhya should be beheaded.
A Hyderabad based organisation Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) had filed a police complaint against Raja in this regard.
