Hyderabad Goshamahal BJP MLA Raja Singh has responded to the show cause notice issued by the BJP’s disciplinary committee. Raja Singh currently is in Cherlapally jail as he is booked under the Preventive Detention (PD) Act for his controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed.
This BJP MLA in his response said that he has never criticised Muslims. He stated that whenever he criticised the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), the party that Asaduddin Owaisi leads, an impression is created that he is criticising Muslims.
He further stated, “Since the word ‘Muslim’ is part of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), they are alleging that I am criticising the entire Muslim community. But I have never criticised the Muslim community. I have never made personal comments against them. I, on every occasion, have been exposing the MIM atrocities and its staunch supporter, the TRS,”.
Talking about the Telangana Government, he said, “The state government not only ignored my suggestion but instead invited him to Hyderabad and provided security with thousands of police personnel to carry on his show. The act of the TRS government was aimed at pleasing the MIM party. As many as 500 BJP activists, along with me, were arrested on the day of the Munawar Faruqui show. Soon after the show, I made a video to make people understand how Munawar Faruqui does his show. I neither belittled any religion nor did I criticise the Gods of any religion in my video.”.
“I hereby promise that I, as a BJP karyakarta, will not do anything that brings disrespect to the party. I take this opportunity to assure you that I shall work within the ideology and principles of the party to make it proud of my contributions.”, he added.
