Giriraj Singh representing Begusarai Lok Sabha constituency, called upon Hindus to become united
Sources added that in controversial comments, Union minister Giriraj Singh on tuesday called upon the people to have a stockpile of “spears, swords and tridents” in their homes that could be used as part of the worship of deities as well as for “self-defence”. Singh made the remarks in Kishanganj, Bihar’s only Muslim-majority district, which he toured as part of the ‘Hindu Swabhiman Yatra’ he has taken out claiming that the Hindus are under threat and needed to be “organised”.He said “Before coming to Kishanganj, I have toured adjoining districts of Araria, Katihar and Purnea. Everywhere people shared their concerns about the honour of their sisters and daughters”. Moreover he added “I have been told that every year a number of Hindu girls fall prey to love jihad which is followed by their conversion (to Islam). No case is registered against the culprits who keep misbehaving with women not ready to fall into their trap.”Moreover Singh, who represents Begusarai lok sabha constituency in Bihar, called upon Hindus to become united. He claimed that almost every Hindu god and goddess carries a trident, a sword or a spear that denoted that “sacredness was backed by strength”.
