The BJP high command Tuesday suspended the party’s MLA from Telangana T Raja Singh, who was earlier in the day arrested for his alleged derogatory remark against the Prophet in a video posted on social media.
In a letter addressed to the Goshamahal MLA, member secretary of the BJP’s central disciplinary committee Om Pathak stated: “You have expressed views contrary to the party’s position on various matters which is clear violation of Rule XXV 10 (a) of the constitution of BJP. I have been directed to convey to you that pending further inquiry, you are suspended from the party and from your responsibilities with immediate effect. Please also show cause within 10 days as to why should you not be expelled from the party.’’
Raja Singh allegedly made the remark while attacking stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, who recently performed in the city.
