The BJP on Tuesday suspended its Hyderabad city Goshamahal Constituency MLA, T. Raja Singh with immediate effect over his alleged remarks against Prophet Muhammad. The party central disciplinary committee had also issued a show cause notice asking him to respond within 10 days as to why he should not be expelled from the party. “You have expressed views contrary to the party’s position on various matters, which is in clear violation of Rule XXV 10 (a) of Constitution of the party,” the Committee member secretary Om Pathak said.
Committee member secretary said he was asked to convey that pending further inquiry, Raja Singh would be placed under suspension from the party and from the responsibilities or assignments if any, with immediate effect. Raja Singh’s controversial remarks triggered protests in Hyderabad demanding for his arrest, following which he was arrested by the Telangana police on Tuesday. Even as many BJP leaders from Telangana condemned the arrest, the party central leadership issued the orders against him.
BJP President J. P. Nadda condemned the arrest of party's Telangana Chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar. In a series of tweets,. Nadda alleged that the Telangana Government is worried seeing the massive support that BJP is receiving from all corners of the state against his corrupt and family centric regime.
