Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal legislator T Raja Singh once again threatened violence if standup comedian Munawar Faruqui is allowed to perform in the city on August 21.
In a video message on Wednesday, Raja Singh shared the venue of the show and asked his ‘ karyakarthas ’ (party workers) to buy tickets online. “All of you know what is to be done after buying the ticket. Remember the venue,” he said.
The MLA went ahead and claimed that he is not against any particular community nor Muslims or religion.
However, he added, “If any person makes derogatory comments against Prophet Mohammed, you all do violence and arson. Your religious figures are important and our community deities unimportant to you.” Pointing out the recent adverse comments by Muslims against him following his call to boycott Munawar Faruqui.
Raja Singh said that Telangana Minister for Information Technology, KT Rama Rao, should change his name to KT Munawar Faruqui and convert his religion.
