After the arrest, speaking to mediapersons, suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh said whatever he has done, it is for the dharma. “I am doing it for Dharma. I am ready to die for Dharma,” Shri Singh said.
Shri Singh had released a 10-minute video which allegedly contained derogatory comments about Muhammad. He had done this in response to stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui’s controversial video where he had made derogatory comments about Ram and Sita and other Hindu gods.
The video which Raja Singh had released was pulled out by the YouTube. After that he posted another video. “They removed my video from YouTube. I don’t know what the police are going to do. Once I am released second part will certainly be uploaded. I am doing it for Dharma. I am ready to die for Dharma,” he said.
“Do only Muslims have sentiments? Why Farooqi is roaming free? He gets massive police security to hurt the feelings of Hindus,” said a social media activist.
Meanwhile, Islamists in large numbers protested in Hyderabad. They demanded the arrest of Shri Singh. He was on Friday taken into preventive custody by the police when he tried to reach the venue of stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui’s show along with around 50 supporters to get it cancelled.
