The BJP leader from Telangana was arrested for his remark against a particular religion. He released a video clip criticising stand-up comedia Munawar Faruqui who recently performed in the city. In a tweet, the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said, “The heated atmosphere across the country has not been cooled down completely over the controversial remarks by now-suspended Nupur Sharma. Now, another BJP leader, Telangana MLA Raja Singh did the same kind of provocative act, which is disgraceful and utterly condemnable.” The Telangana government may have arrested Singh, but it is the responsibility of the BJP leadership to restrain such leaders.
