Giriraj Singh dares filmmakers to make movie on ‘Prophet Mohammed’; says, 'easy to make derogatory films on Hindu Gods'

BJP candidate from Begusarai, Giriraj Singh has irked controversy with his remark against the Muslim community on Tuesday, hours after Bihar court granted him bail in poll code violation case. Union Minister said it is easy to make derogatory films on Hindu God and Goddess but no one can dare to make such films on Muslim God.

While addressing a public meeting in support of BJP's South Delhi candidate Ramesh Bidhuri, Giriraj Singh, in an apparent reference to the controversial Malayalam movie said that anybody can make a movie like "Sexy Durga" but nobody has the courage to make one on Prophet Mohammed or Fatima.

Meanwhile, Bidhuri also used a Hindi slur against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and accused him of stalling the prosecution of former Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.

Giriraj Singh has been fielded against CPI candidate Kanhaiya Kumar from Bihar’s Begusarai seat. Singh also alleged that Kejriwal is part of the "tukde tukde gang".

Meanwhile, according to PTI reports, the Election Commission had issued a show cause notice to Giriraj Singh over his anti-Muslim remarks at an election rally.

"I didn't say any such thing in Begusarai, still a case was registered against me. I just said that the slogan Vande Mataram made India independent. I said the country will show the door to any person who can't chant Vande Mataram, he said at the meeting in Delhi.

"The Hindus were abused in Begusarai. Some people said Hindus eat beef and drink liquor at night. I informed the Election Commission, but it too didn't take action," the minister said.
