Hours after BJP MLA Raja Singh was arrested by the Hyderabad police for his derogatory comments against Prophet Muhammad, Bhartiya Janata Party on Tuesday suspended the leader from his post.
In an order, the BJP Central Disciplinary Committee said, “You have expressed views contrary to the party’s position on various matters, which is in clear violation of Rule XXV. 10 (a) of the constitution of the Bhartiya Janata Party.”
“I have been directed to convey to you that pending further inquiry, you are suspended from the party and from your responsibilities/assignments if any, with immediate effect. Please also show cause within 10 days from the date of this notice as to why should you not be expelled from the party. Your detailed reply must reach the undersigned no later than September 22, 2022,” the order concluded.
Meanwhile, the BJP leader faced flak from AIMIM leaders. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi strongly condemned the remarks made by Raja Singh.
Earlier on Tuesday, Raja Singh was arrested after violence erupted over his remarks in his latest uploaded video.
