Telangana: BJP lifts suspension placed on hate-speech peddler Raja Singh for derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday lifted the suspension it placed on Telangana MLA and hate-speech peddler T. Raja Singh for derogatory comments he made about Prophet Muhammad.

The party’s Central Disciplinary Committee told Singh on Sunday that the suspension was revoked forthwith on the basis of his reply to the show-cause notice issued to him.

Singh, who has over 100 criminal cases against him, was suspended by the BJP in August last year after his comments caused communal tensions in Hyderabad.

He was also arrested by the Hyderabad police in August under the Preventive Detention Act for hurting the religious sentiments of the minority community. In November last year, the Telangana High Court released him while laying down three strict conditions. However, he has made genocidal speeches against Muslims on several occasions.

The Hindutva leader said he will contest once again from the Goshamahal constituency in the upcoming Telangana assembly elections which will be held on November 30.

The MLA shared the letter he received from the BJP’s disciplinary committee on X and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president J.P. Nadda, and other leaders for revoking his susepnsion.
