New Delhi, June 24: A controversy erupted after BJP MP from Adilabad, Soyam Bapu, said that he will behead Muslim youths who are allegedly harassing Adivasi women in the tribal district in Telangana.
Minority leaders approached the police for Soyam Bapu’s objectionable remarks and filed a complaint regarding the same. The complaint was filed by Congress minority cell district president Sajid Khan with Adilabad ASP Kancha Mohan.
In the complaint, the Congress cadre demanded that Soyam Bapu Rao should take back his words.
BJP MPs’ comments were condemned by Sajid Khan, who said despite being an MP, Bapu Rao was making wrong allegations and his comments are against the minority community.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s M Krishank attacked PM Narendra Modi after Soyam Bapu made the remark. “Even though PM Modi says Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Visshwas, his own MP has made such a comment in a desperate bid to enter Telangana.”
This is not the first time a BJP MP has targetted Muslims.
Earlier in July 2018, Ambedkar Nagar BJP MP Hari Om Pandey had triggered controversy for saying, Cases of heinous crime such as rape and murder are rapidly increasing due to the growing Muslim population in India.
