    Maha CM should adopt Yogi model, bulldoze encroachments: Raja Singh

    Hyderabad: T Raja Singh, now suspended BJP MLA gave a call to his followers to report the social media accounts of Muslim politicians and intellectuals and get them blocked.

    In a video message released on Saturday, Raja Singh said there is a conspiracy hatched and executed by a group of persons to get the social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter blocked by repeatedly complaining to the companies.

    “When they (Muslims) are doing it and blocking or suspending our accounts on social media, we should also be doing it. I request all of you to start a campaign and get all accounts, channels and pages blocked of Muslim leaders and intellectuals blocked,” he said.

  • Hyderabad: End Raja Singh’s ‘Anarchic Raj’ in Goshamahal, says BRS

    Hyderabad: End Raja Singh’s ‘Anarchic Raj’ in Goshamahal, says BRS

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Hyderabad district incharge Dasoju Sravan on Sunday said the public should re-elect BRS in the upcoming Assembly elections and put an end to the ‘Anarchic Raj’ of suspended BJP leader T Raja Singh in the Goshamahal constituency. 

    Speaking at the party ‘Athmeeya Sammelan’ at Boggulakunta, he said that Raja Singh, MLA of Goshamahal, is more focused on spreading BJP’s hate politics in the state rather than development work in his constituency.

    “People belonging to various cultures, regions and religions live in Goshamahal reflecting the unity in diversity of our nation. It is disheartening that Raja Singh, who is the face of BJP’s communal politics is representing this constituency in Telangana Assembly, a disgrace,” remarked Sravan.

    He said that CM K Chandrashekar Rao is turning a drought-hit Telangana into a prosperous and progressive state by working round the clock and dedicating his entire life for the state. “PM Modi and his partymen are leaving no stone unturned to create communal tensions in Telangana and obstruct its development,” he added.

    He said that the time has arrived to choose between KCR’s BRS which strives for the welfare of people belonging to all sections and religions and Modi’s BJP which is obstructing development and breaking the backs of people, riding on communal politics. 

    “While BRS MLAs are busy implementing the schemes introduced by KCR like Dalit Bandhu, Rythu Bandhu, Kalyana Lakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak, KCR kits, Basti Dawakhanas, Aasara pensions and others in their constituency, Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh does not even have time to attend Assembly,” said the BRS leader. 

    He said that Raja Singh neither takes up nor attends development works in his constituency. “I wonder why he has become an MLA,” said Sravan. 

    He said that the Centre has been looting the common man while riding on religious sentiments and that it is high time people put an end to BJP’s ‘crooked politics’. 

    “PM Modi said that he will create two crore jobs per year. That means he has created 18 crore jobs till now. But not even 18 thousand jobs have been created till now,” he said.  

    He said that the price of LPG has been hiked from Rs 400 to Rs 1100, petrol and diesel prices have more than doubled in PM Modi’s tenure while the prices of all the essential commodities have skyrocketed. 

    “People belonging to all sections have been betrayed by PM Modi. and the BJP is now eyeing Telangana. Politically aware people of Telangana should put an end to PM Modi’s Sarkar at Centre and teach BJP a lesson, by electing KCR as the CM for the third time,” Sravan said.

    Hyderabad: Now suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh was taken into preventive custody by the Mangalhat police and Commissioner’s Task Force when he tried to take out a rally and join the Veer Hanuman Jayanthi Shobha Yatra on Thursday.

    A police team led by N Ravi Kumar, SHO Mangalhat police station and Task Force people came to the residence of the MLA and took him into custody. He was taken into a police vehicle and shifted to a police station, which is yet to be known.

    Minutes before his arrest, Raja Singh released a video and said the police are planning to arrest him and prevent him from joining the Hanuman Jayanthi rally.

    “On Hanuman Jayanthi I visit the all temples. The rally starts from the Ram Mandir temple in Gowliguda in my constituency. If I am arrested chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and Home Minister Mohammad Mahmood Ali are responsible for the consequences,” threatened Raja Singh.

    When the police came to arrest him, Raja Singh argued with them and reiterated that he would go and join the rally. However, SHO Ravi Kumar pacified him and took him into custody. The MLA was shifted to a police station.

    The police are on alert following the advisory issued by the Union Home Ministry in view of riots in different states in the country during Sri Rama Navami. The Telangana police are monitoring the situation after the arrest of BJP state president Bandi Sanjay in Warangal for conspiracy to defame the government and creating commotion by ‘leaking the SSC exam question paper’ on Tuesday.

    Raja Singh was earlier detained on Wednesday by the police when he was on his way to meet Bandi Sanjay who is currently in custody.

  • Raja Singh hate speech: Twitter withholds tweets on Centre’s directions

    Raja Singh hate speech: Twitter withholds tweets on Centre’s directions

    [ad_1]

    Social media giant Twitter has withheld suspended Bharatiya Janata Party and Goshmahal MLA T Raja Singh’s recent hate speech videos made across Maharashtra on the directions of the Narendra Modi-led Central government.

    HindutvaWatch, a Twitter handle that posts videos and news of hate speech and crimes that take place across the country, received an email from Twitter that certain of its tweets had violated the Information Technology Act, 2000, and hence are withheld.

    “Indian government is trying to bury the evidence of hate speeches delivered by suspended BJP legislator T Raja Singh from our Twitter handle by withholding five videos in India,” HindutvaWatch tweeted.

    “Notably, the request comes 3 days after a contempt petition on hate speeches was filed in the Supreme Court. The petition extensively mentions Raja Singh’s hate speeches documented by Hindutva Watch as evidence,” HindutvaWatch added.

    A journalist and researcher at the fact-checking media company AltNews, Kalim Ahmed was given the same notification from Twitter.

    Expressing his displeasure, the journalist linked the stories in his Twitter head before pasting the social media giant’s email contents.

    “My Twitter thread documenting BJP legislator Raja Singh delivering objectionable speeches across Maharashtra has been withheld in India. Mother of democracy is very angry with me You can still read those reports on AltNews’s website, I’ll link them below,” he tweeted.

    Raja Singh’s Maharashtra hate speech

    Last year in August, Raja Singh posted a video where he used derogatory language against Prophet Muhammad which ultimately led to his arrest. Owing to massive pressure, BJP suspended Raja.

    Raja Singh was booked under the Preventive Detention (PD) Act by the Telangana police. In November, the Telangana High Court granted him conditional bail forbidding him to participate in rallies or speak to the media as well as refrain from making any posting derogatory speeches.

    On January 29, a massive Hindutva rally took off in the heart of the financial capital Mumbai. The rally – Jan Aakrosh Morcha – weaved several right-wing groups, including Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Sanatan Sangha, Vanvasi Kalyan, Rajput Youth Front, Karni Sena and All India Maheshwar Samaj to form the Sakal Hindu Samaj.

    They demanded strict laws against ‘love jihad’, religious conversion, and alleged grabbing of land by Muslim organisations.

    Raja Singh took part in these rallies where he made an open call for violence against the Muslim community.

    On February 20, Raja Singh delivered another hate speech in Maharashtra’s Latur district where he called for Akhand Bharat.

    “Hamare Maharashtra ke dharthi per koi bhi love jihadi zinda na bache. Aaj hamari bahu-beti ko behla-phuslakar Love Jihad ke naam per fasaya jaa raha hai. Bacha paida karne ki machine banaya jaa raha hai. Rape and unke tukde kiya jaa raha hai. (No love jihadi will survive on the soil of Maharashtra. They trap Hindu women and make them slaves by producing more and more children. They rape them and cut them into pieces),” Raja Singh said in the speech.

    He made another speech in the Solapur district of Maharashtra demeaning communal harmony and brotherhood by stating Hindus and Muslims can never be brothers.

    “Can (Chhatrapati) Shivaji and Afzal Khan (a general in the Adil Shahi dynasty) become one? Can Maharana Prathap (a Hindu Rajput king of Mewar) and Akbar (a Mughal emperor) be one? Can those who worship our mother cow and those who murder her be one?” he asked a cheering crowd.

    Many notices served, none followed

    In December last year, the Hyderabad police had served a showcase notice on Raja Singh for making derogatory comments on Facebook.

    On January 26, another notice was issued to the Goshamahal MLA and then a third notice was sent following his controversial speeches in Maharashtra.

    Reacting strongly, Raja Singh alleged that the ninth Nizam is ruling the state. He said that he was not afraid of being sent to jail again.

  • ‘Jail Ka Taala Tuth Gaya’: What Raja Singh sang at this year’s Ram Navami rally

    ‘Jail Ka Taala Tuth Gaya’: What Raja Singh sang at this year’s Ram Navami rally

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The annual Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra here has become a show of strength for Hindutva groups to flex. The procession has also become a launchpad for Hindutva mascot and suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh to release new inflammatory ‘songs’ every year. In 2022, he sang a song degenerating Muslims and threatened to “kick” them out of India if they “don’t chant Ram’s name”. This year was no different.

    Here’s a cursory glance at what Raja Singh said at the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra on Thursday. The MLA released a few more songs at his mega saffron rally, which were officially uploaded on some Youtube Channels and played during the Shobha Yatra procession.

    Raja Singh as a practice has been singing songs and releasing them during the Sri Rama Navami festival each year. One of latest songs, ‘Baap Tu Baap Rahega’, was clearly a dig at the ruling government (or even the cops) for arresting him last year and putting him in the jail under the PD Act after he released a video passing derogatory comments against Prophet Muhammad. He did that in retaliation against the state got allowing comic Munawar Faurqui to hold a show.

    The lyrics also make mention his PD Act detention following registration of a series of cases for making derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed in a video and also old cases booked against him for delivering hate speeches. The lyrics goes ‘Jail Ka Taala Tuth Gaya, Baap Tumhara Choot Gaya’. The song is of 5:10 minutes duration.

    People who joined Singh’s Hindutva rally waved photos of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, now a beloved Hindutva figure.

    His song further also goes on the usual demand of turning India into a Hindu nation. ‘Hindu Rashtra Banega Hindustan. Jitehjeh Hamko Karna Heh Kaam. Desh Yeh Sarah Bhagwa Rangse Sajehgah’. Raja Singh as usual was the centre of attraction at the Sri Rama Navami Shobha Yatra on Thursday as well.

    Raja Singh also threatened to “see the end” of anyone who dares to touch his son or family. “If anything happens to me, my son will take the Hindutva cause forward,” the suspended MLA said, while introducing his son to the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra on Thursday.

    Demands for formation of ‘Hindu Rashtra’

    The MLA known for his hateful rhetoric against minorities, was once again trying to promulgate his ideologue among the masses gathered to participate in the religious procession. He is currently out on bail from the Telangana high court, allowed him to walk out out on the condition that he would not participate in public rallies and meetings.

    On Thursday, hundreds of men, women and children participated in the procession and T Raja Singh asked them all to “work hard to form a Hindu Rashtra”. “Those who oppose formation of a Hindu Rashtra should go away to any other Islamic country of their choice including Pakistan or Bangladesh. After the Hindu Rashtra is formed the capital of the country would be Ayodhya, Kashi or Mathura. If a Hindu nation is formed cow slaughter and love jihad will automatically stopped,” said the controversial MLA.

    Raja Singh also claimed that said soon West Bengal, Kerala and some other States will become Muslim nations. “The Hindus need to be vigilant and careful,” he warned. He also administered a pledge to scores of youngsters at Begum Bazar Chatri to “work for formation of a Hindu Rashtra”.

    Before the pledge he said there are 100 crore Hindus in India. “There are 50 Islamic countries in the world and more than 150 countries where majority citizens are Christians. I want to ask you all, why there can’t be a Hindu Rashtra. Why can’t Bharat be Hindu Rashtra? Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Bangladesh were formed after getting separated from India,” Raja Singh said.

    Hyderabad: As the suspended Goshamahal BJP MLA Raja Singh, joined the main rally when it passed via Mangalhat, a portrait of Godse appeared. People who joined Singh’s fringe rally waved photos of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, now a beloved Hindutva figure.

    The Sri Rama Navami Shobha Yatra in the city here began at Sitarambagh Temple near Asif Nagar on Thursday. The event initially began with a few hundred members and slowly grew bigger as it passed via the Mangalhat police station area.

    As another procession by the Sri Ram Yuva Sena, headed by suspended Goshamahal BJP MLA Raja Singh, joined the main rally when it passed via Mangalhat, a portrait of Godse appeared. People who joined Singh’s fringe rally waved photos of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, now a beloved Hindutva figure.

    Artists, cultural troupes and musical bands brought in by the Sri Ram Navami Utsav Committee also participated in the procession right from the beginning. DJs played Hindutva songs at the event, which last year witnessed hate speeches being made. Raja Singh, who has been banned from participating in political public meetings by the Telangana High Court, made a small speech at the event.

    “Our elders worked hard and made the Ram temple a reality. It will soon be inaugurated. Our focus now has to be on Kashi and Mathura temples, for which we need to fight. Hindus should not be afraid of anyone. One Hindu can fight 10,000 people. There is nothing to fear, and we have to form a Hindu Rashtra,” Raja Singh.

    At around 3 pm the procession was at the Mangalhat police station road. From there it will pass via Begum Bazar and other areas. According to sources, Hindutva leaders and participants will make a pledge to make Hindu Rashtra.

  • Suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh alleges terror plot to target him

    Suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh alleges terror plot to target him

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Suspended BJP MLA T. Raja Singh has claimed that a terrorist outfit planned to target him during the Ram Navami procession in Hyderabad on Thursday.

    He posted on social media a letter from a resident of the old city of Hyderabad to the commissioner of police claiming that a terrorist planned to hurl bombs at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, state BJP office and Ram Navami procession on March 31.

    The letter, written by Uma Maheswari, alleged that the main target of the terrorist working for Bahrain-based Mukhtar Brigades is Raja Singh, a member of Telangana Legislative Assembly from Goshamahal constituency.

    Raja Singh, who is scheduled to lead the procession, asked state home Minister Mahmood Ali, Director General of Police and Police Commissioner if they verified the claims made in the letter. “Update us abt this as Lakhs of Ram Bhakts joins this procession,” tweeted Raja Singh.

    The controversial MLA had last month lodged a complaint with the police stating that he was receiving threatening calls from Pakistan-based phone numbers.

    “I have been receiving threatening calls every day. I have given written complaints many times to the police department when the callers are aggressive and abusive but no action has been taken. Not even one person has been arrested who threatened me as of now,” he had said.

    Following the MLA’s claims, police had assigned him a new bullet-resistant vehicle.

    The MLA was arrested by the police in August last year for making certain comments hurting religious sentiments of Muslims. He was sent to jail on August 25 after the Hyderabad police commissioner had invoked PD Act. BJP had also suspended him from the party.

    Raja Singh was released from jail on November 9, after spending two months in jail following his arrest under the Preventive Detention Act.

    The Telangana High Court had set aside the police commissioner’s order and released the MLA on bail but directed him not to make any speech or comment which created hatred among communities.

  • Hyderabad: Raja Singh to lead Shobha Yatra on Ram Navami

    Hyderabad: Raja Singh to lead Shobha Yatra on Ram Navami

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Controversial MLA T Raja Singh of Goshamahal who is currently suspended from BJP is set to lead the Shobha Yatra on March 30. The procession, which is scheduled to begin at 10:11 am, will start from the Akashpuri Hanuman Temple located at Mangala Hat Market Road in the city. However, the police is yet to grant permission for the yatra.

    Last year, the procession began from the Seetarambagh temple in Mangalhat and proceeded to the Hanuman Vyayamshala School in Sultan Bazar, passing through various locations under the Goshamahal and Sultan Bazar traffic police stations. One tributary procession began from the Akashpuri Hanuman temple and joined the main procession at Gangabowli Junction. The police had imposed traffic restrictions at various points along the route.

    Raja Singh’s offensive remarks at Ram Navami rally last year

    Last year, Shahinayathgunj police station registered a case against Raja Singh following the provocative statements he made at a Ram Navami rally.

    In his speech, Singh spoke against the alleged boycott of Hindu vendors in the Old city on the occasion of Ramzan. He said, “If Hindus were to target the traitors (Muslims) similarly, they would run out of business and would not even be in a position to beg as even alms are given to the poor by Hindus.”

    He further remarked, “If Hindus awaken, all Muslims will be vanquished.”

    In August, the police issued a notice to the MLA in the hate speech case.

    The MLA’s political career

    Raja Singh, who was with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) from 2009 to 2013 and later with the BJP from 2014 onwards, has won an MLA seat for two consecutive terms.

    He also floated the Sriram Yuva Sena long ago to reinforce his identity as a Hindutva leader at the national level and to increase his fan following in the country.

    His uncompromising Hindutva stand helped him emerge as the favourite in his constituency and the sole MLA for the BJP in the 2018 assembly election when the party lost deposits in over 100 assembly segments among 119 constituencies in Telangana.

    However, Raja Singh has been embroiled in several controversies in the past. Last year, he was arrested after he made derogatory comments against Prophet Mohammed.

    The MLA claimed that he did it in retaliation against the state government’s decision to allow comedian Munawar Faruqui to hold a show in Hyderabad at Madhapur on August 20.
