Responding to an incident of a communal clash in the Chengicherla area in Hyderabad recently, BJP leader and Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh on Thursday, 28 March, said that Hindus were being attacked in Telangana.
He also warned the police of repercussions if they did not withdraw the cases filed against Hindus following the incident.
“A group of people who were celebrating Holi with music in the area was attacked by some people who came from a masjid,” said Raja Singh in a video statement.
The Telangana police have filed cases against the Hindus who were attacked and only seven people were charged from among the hundreds of people who came from the masjid, he claimed.
Attacking Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, he said, “The attacks against Hindus in the state are on the rise. It used to happen in the TRS (BRS) regime also.”
He claimed that both the BRS and the Congress are functioning under the command of Asaduddin Owaisi and the AIMIM.
He further said that the police have kept him under house arrest.
“We were about to go to Chengicherla to supply ration to the affected families. However, almost eight police personnel came to my home and said that I could not go there and I was under house arrest,” he said.
Raja Singh also demanded the chief minister and the police to withdraw the case filed against the Hindus.
“If you don’t withdraw the case filed against Hindus and take action against the people who attacked Hindus, we know how to perform the reaction for the action,” he warned the police and the chief minister.
Mild tension prevailed in the area on the evening of Sunday, after a scuffle broke out between the two groups, in which four persons suffered minor injuries even as police dispersed the groups.
According to police, a group of people used loudspeakers near the mosque place and played songs during pre-Holi celebrations on Sunday.
Following this, the people attending prayers inside the mosque objected to it and asked them to lower the volume (of the loudspeakers).
This led to arguments between them and both groups including women attacked each other.
The Medipally police registered cases in this regard, under Sections 147, 148, and 324 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
