AIMIM Lodges Complaint With EC Against BJP’s Raja Singh

Hyderabad: AIMIM party Monday complained to the Telangana Chief Electoral Officer against BJP candidate T Raja Singh Lodh for allegedly making objectionable remarks against its leader Akbaruddin Owaisi and the Muslim community at large.

AIMIM MLC Syed Amin-ul-Hasan Jafri, in the complaint, said Singh, the BJP candidate from Goshamahal constituency in the city, was violating the provisions of Representation of the People's Act and specific sections of the IPC through the reported statements which, he said, were made to a section of the media.

The BJP leader is said to have spoken derogatorily about Akbaruddin Owaisi and challenged him to come alone leaving his security and said that he would put Akbaruddin's head under his foot while speaking to a leading English daily. He went on to say that he would banish “anti-nationals” like Akbaruddin from India, if BJP was voted to power and made other remarks hurting their religious sentiments.

The AIMIM leader requested the Chief Electoral Officer to initiate appropriate action against BJP and also its candidate Singh for making the objectionable statements as they seek to promote 'enmity and ill-will' within different groups. AIMIM also said that Raja Singh’s statement that Muslims who consume beef should refrain from voting for him is in contravention of Section 123 (3a) and their religious sentiments.
