Telangana BJP legislator T. Raja Singh made communal remarks at a rally in Mira Road on Sunday despite the Bombay High Court granting permission for the event to commemorate the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on the condition that no hate speeches would be delivered.
“Many tried to stop me from entering Mira Road but no power could stand before your love. We must pledge till our last breath that we will save Hindu rashtra, we must fight against love jihad and cow slaughter, and safeguard our religion. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb was known for torturing and killing Hindus, converting their religion, and demolishing our temples,” Mr. Singh said.
