Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal legislator T Raja Singh stirred up controversy by labeling the late Mukhtar Ansari of Uttar Pradesh as “Deshdrohi” and “Dharm drohi”.

In a video statement, Raja Singh questioned the visit of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi to Mukhtar Ansari’s house to console the family following his demise three days ago.

“Mukhtar Ansari was a killer. He killed eight people on record and terrorized people. Asaduddin Owaisi should visit the families of the eight people and console them,” he said, questioning the motive of Asaduddin’s visit.
