Hyderabad, Jul 23: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader T. Raja Singh on Monday said that he did not say anything wrong in the video he had released in the wake of the Alwar lynching incident.

In the video, Singh had stirred controversy when he said that incidents like the Alwar lynching happen in the name of protecting cows, adding that cow slaughter should be banned worldwide.

Speaking to ANI, Singh referred to the victim of the lynching incident as a 'cow smuggler' and was of the opinion that incidents as such will not cease until cow slaughtering was banned. He also added that there needs to be a law against it.

"This case has been much discussed in the media recently, but nobody is asking why these incidents of violence happen. I didn't say anything wrong in my video; these lynching cases won't stop until cow slaughtering stops. There should be a law against it," Singh said.

"The victim was a cow trafficker, his job was to smuggle cows, slaughter them and sell their meat. I am not saying this, the media is. There is also a case registered against him. Nobody says these things, they only like to talk about how an innocent was killed by an angry mob," Singh added.

He appealed to the Parliament to introduce laws against cow slaughter and declare cow as "Rashtriya Mata".

28-year-old Akbar Khan was allegedly beaten to death by an agitated mob on suspicions of cow smuggling in Alwar district in the intervening night of July 20-21.

As of now, two people have been arrested in the case.

What about beef export? No one is asking this crusial question in this prime time. Congress is not a strong opposition. General public is asking more direct questions than congress. BJP and Congress together will doom this country to a low that it will not be easy to return back to our old Indian environment. Tharoor was 100% true about India becoming a Hindu Pakistan soon. Ironically congress didn't support his claim.

Jan 27: Bollywood Film Director Anurag Kashyap, who has been vocal about his political views on social media, slammed Union Minister Amit Shah and accused him of being 'cheap'.

"How timid our Home Minister is. Its own police, its own goons, its own army and security increases and invades unarmed protestors. Amit Shah has crossed the extent of cheapness and inferiority. History will spit on this animal," Kashyap tweeted.

The film director has taken an active part in the anti-Citizenship Act protest rallies and was against the Jawaharlal Nehru violence. He also came in support of his contemporary Deepika Padukone when the latter faced backlash for showing up at JNU in support of the students.
