If they can attack a union minister, imagine what they can do with common Hindus… This is when they're not in power, imagine the situation if they get power… pic.twitter.com/75t2cJGoyD
As per reports, Union Textiles Minister and Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh held a Janta Darbar on Saturday. It was held within the premises of the Ballia subdivision office.
According to the information received, a man wearing a white cap arrived there when the Union Minister was listening to public grievances in the Janta Darbar. He first forcibly took control of the mic and started making absurd statements. When BJP workers and locals tried to stop him, he ran towards Giriraj Singh and tried to punch him. However, the Union Minister narrowly escaped the attack, and his security personnel present on the spot saved him.
The accused was identified as Mohammad Saifi. He is said to be a ward councillor and former district president of the Aam Aadmi Party.
Giriraj Singh said, “All the officers in Janta Darbar started walking after hearing public grievances. First, he (the accused Mohammad Saifi) forcefully took the mike and started saying irrelevant things. We tolerated it and moved ahead. Then I felt that he would attack me and he behaved in such a manner and then started shouting slogans of Murdabad.’

इन हमलों से मैं डरने वाला नहीं।
दाढ़ी-टोपी देखकर उनको पुचकारने और सहलाने वाले लोग आज देख लें कि किस प्रकार बेगुसराय बिहार सहित पूरे देश में लेंड जिहाद-लव जिहाद और साम्प्रदायिक तनाव पैदा किया जा… pic.twitter.com/iqu8ccnGuc
Following the incident, Giriraj Singh said that he was not afraid of such attacks and would always speak and continue to fight for the interests of society.
After Saifi’s arrest, Giriraj Singh lambasted the I.N.D.I. Alliance leaders Tejashwi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, and Rahul Gandhi. He described them as “Vote ke sudagar” who claim that they have the right of ‘Muslim votes’. He said that after knowing the identity of the attacker, Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi, and Akhilesh Yadav would come out in his support. He blamed them for emboldening the confidence of radical Muslims.
He further stated that Hindus have never caused riots in the country. But attacks happen on all religious processions of Hindus, like Ramnavami, and Durga Visarjan. But now the time has come…Yogi Ji said the right thing…Agar Batoge to Katoge, ab Hinduo ko bhi ek hona padega.

In response to a question on the Waqf board, Giriraj Singh said that the Waqf Board is running a land grab campaign. It grabs whatever land it wants. This is going on in the entire country including Begusarai.
Apart from sharing the video of his statement, Singh wrote, “Those who would pamper and caress him seeing his beard and cap should see today how land jihad-love jihad and communal tension is being created in the entire country including Begusarai, Bihar.”
