New Delhi: West Delhi BJP MP Parvesh Verma has made a rather shocking statement saying: ‘they’ will enter your homes, rape your sisters and daughters, kill them!
The MP was referring to Shaheen Bagh protests when he said this statement on Tuesday.
“Lakhs of people gather there (Shaheen Bagh). People of Delhi will have to think & take a decision. They’ll enter your houses, rape your sisters and daughters, kill them. There’s time today, Modi ji and Amit Shah won’t come to save you tomorrow..,” he told news agency ANI.
On Monday, Verma had issued a threat to Shaheen Bagh protesters and said that it will take the BJP only one hour to clear off the protests in the area.
“If the BJP comes to power in Delhi on February 11, we will clear Shaheen Bagh of all protest and protesters within one hour. Not a single person will be visible,” he said adding that within one month of coming to power, all the existing mosques built on government land will be demolished in Delhi.
He was addressing a crowd at a community center in Ranhoula village which falls under the Vikaspuri Assembly constituency in West Delhi.
Shaheen Bagh protesters happened in opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act, the National Register of Citizens and the National Population Register. Mainly led by women, the protests have continued uninterrupted for more than a month now. The road blockage at Shaheen Bagh has led to a tussle between the Delhi police and the protesters.
