Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA T Raja Singh in a speech in Telangana’s capital city, Hyderabad, yet again fuelled sentiments against Muslims accusing them of thook jihad.
A conspiracy theory developed by the Hindu right wing against Muslims, thook jihad, accuses Muslim of spitting on food to be sold.
In a purported video from Hyderabad, Raja Singh is heard delivering a speech and stating that it is essential for the Telangana government to create a law similar to that of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where vendors are mandated to display the name of the shop owner.
