New Delhi: BJP leader and former MLA Sangeet Som asked Rajputs to take up arms during an ayudha puja (worship of weapons) event organised by the Rajput Utthan Sabha on Vijaya Dashami in Kheda village in UP’s Meerut on Wednesday.
Som, who was an accused in a case related to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, made veiled references to the minority community and alleged that “anti-national forces” are attacking the country.
“The way the population of a particular community is increasing, terrorism is increasing, there are talks of separatism, talks of beheading. To end all of this, along with power, weapons will also be needed in the future,” Som said in his address.
“The Rajput society will have to take up arms again,” the former BJP MLA from the Sardhana constituency said.
Sangeet Som, a Senior leader in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calls on Hindus to pick up arms to attack Muslims.
