Hyderabad: BJP Leader T. Raja Singh Leads Ram Navami Procession; Godse’s Photo Displayed

Godse Photo Displayed During Shobha Yatra In Hyderabad: On Thursday (March 30), a Ram Navami procession was led by suspended BJP MLA T. Raja Singh in Hyderabad. During the event, a photo of Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, was displayed. The procession, led by the BJP leader, saw participants dancing to a song, waving saffron flags, and carrying Godse’s image. Hundreds of people joined the procession, which started from a temple in Sitarambagh and passed through various areas of the Goshamahal assembly constituency represented by Raja Singh.

Hundreds of police personnel were deployed along the procession route in Hyderabad. The police ensured tight security arrangements, including the use of cameras and drones. The Police Commissioner monitored the procession from the Integrated Command and Control Center.

Case Registered for Inflammatory Speech
Meanwhile, Raja Singh had a case registered against him on January 29 for allegedly delivering an inflammatory speech at a rally in Mumbai. According to police, the case was filed four days after investigating his speech at a rally organized by Hindu Sakal Samaj. Notably, Hyderabad Police had arrested Raja Singh last August for making remarks that hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims. After the Police Commissioner invoked the Preventive Detention (PD) Act, he was sent to jail on August 25. The BJP also suspended him from the party.

Released from Jail After Two Months
After spending two months in jail under the PD Act, Raja Singh was released on November 9 last year. The Telangana High Court had quashed the Police Commissioner’s order and granted him bail. However, the court directed him not to make any speeches or comments that could incite hatred between communities. In recent months, Raja Singh has participated in various rallies and meetings in Maharashtra, allegedly delivering inflammatory speeches.
