NEW DELHI – Indian ruling party BJP’s Alwar Urban MLA Banwari Lal Singhalhas said that most people from the Meo Muslim community are criminals andhe would never ask for their votes. Speaking to The Indian Express onWednesday, Singhal stuck to the statements he made to reporters in Alwar.
“There is absolutely no doubt that most people from the Meo community areinvolved in criminal activities, be it grabbing lands or trapping Hindugirls as part of a planned strategy of love jihad.
I have never asked for their votes and neither will in future, as otherwiseI might be morally bound to protect them from legal action for theircriminal acts,” Singhal said.
The MLA had recently told the media that in his constituency “love jihad”is a big issue, mostly perpetrated by people from the Meo community. He hadalso said that he always maintains a distance from people of the community.
