New Delhi: A Hindutva politician belonging to Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Raja Singh on Friday threatened to behead those who were against the construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Raja Singh is Hindutva outfit MLA from Hyderabad.
“To those who warn of dire consequences if Ram Mandir built, we were waiting for you to say this so we can behead you,” The Times of India quoted the BJP MLA as saying.
This is not the first time that Raja Singh has made inflammatory remarks, notes FirstPost adding that in December 2015, he warned of a lynching like that of Mohammad Akhlaq’s in Dadri.

“We warn them against a Dadri-like incident in Telangana. We can both give our lives and take life for the sake of protecting the cow,” the report in ToI quoted him as saying last year.
In July 2016, Singh in a Facebook post had justified the thrashing of Dalits by cow vigilante groups in Una, Gujarat.
“Jo Dalit gai ke maas ko le ja raha tha, jo uski pitai hui hai, woh bohut hi achhi hui hai (The assault on the Dalits who were taking the cow and cow meat was a very good thing to happen),” he said.
Raja Singh had also condemned the media and political leaders who had criticised the assault on Dalits.
The controversial politician belonging to Hindtuva political wing said that many members of the community had dedicated their lives to the cause of “gau raksha” and extended support to so-called Gau Rakshaks (cow saviours) while using highly derogatory and objectionable language against the Dalits.
