So, I started researching who his ‘Aaka’ (god) is and who is the ‘gol topi walon (those who wear round caps) ka Aaka’. “Why is the BJP doing all this? I will upload part two of the video,” Singh said Tuesday while being arrested. “The reason I am doing this video is because he [Faruqui] did comedy on my Hindu gods. “He [Faruqui] roams the country and does third-class comedy, targets Hindu gods Ram and Sita….

“There are several complaints across the state against Raja Singh that he made derogatory remarks on Prophet Muhammad. Raja Singh got bail on Tuesday hours after he was arrested by the city police following his alleged remarks against Islam and Prophet Muhammad. Prominent Muslim bodies on Tuesday called for strict action against suspended Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh over his controversial remarks and demanded a law to protect the sanctity of religious figures.

Singh was also purportedly seen making some comments aimed at the Prophet. Singh, known for his hardline religious rhetoric, was issued a show cause notice by the BJP, asking him to explain within 10 days why he should not be expelled from the party. This should be the last time that he speaks nonsense like this: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh Singh has been booked on the charge of promoting enmity between groups.
