‘Old Hyderabad is Mini-Pakistan’

‘Hindus in Bengal should respond like 2002 Gujarat’
During the tension in West Bengal’s Baduria and Basirhat districts in July 2017, Singh appealed to the state’s Hindu community to respond to the way Hindus reacted in Gujarat in 2002. “Today, Hindus do not they are safe in the state of West Bengal. Hindus in Bengal should respond to those involved in communal violence as Hindus did in Gujarat. Otherwise Bengal will soon become Bangladesh. ” the BJP MLA had said.
Threatened with burning down theaters

Calling for a boycott of the film, the MLA said that it is “the duty of every nationalist, the duty of every Hindu and the duty of every Rajput.” Later, he wrote to CM K Chandrashekar Rao asking for the film to be banned.
‘The Muslims of Kashmir are traitors’
Singh had once called the Muslims of Kashmir “traitors.” A video that went viral in May 2017 showed him asking people visiting holy places like Amarnath not to buy anything from people in the minority community. “If we don’t buy anything from them for a few years, these traitorous Muslims from Kashmir will get on their knees and say they don’t want Pakistan or ‘Azad Kashmir’, but they will be left with only India,” he said. he heard himself say.
Ready to Take a Life or Give His Life for Ram Mandir
Commenting on the Babri Masjid demolition case in April 2017, activist Telangana MLA had demanded a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, saying that he was ready to give his life, or take his own life, for it.
‘Those who do not sing Vande Mataram will be sent to Pakistan’
In another case in 2017, he threatened people into singing Vande Mataram. In one video, Singh was heard saying: “You have to sing Vande Mataram. If you don’t sing it, you have no right to be in India. You will soon see that we do not have to put a sword to your neck. You will lower your head, you will kneel. and you will agree to sing it because you want to stay in India. “
He also added that he has a ‘discount’ and a ‘special package’ for those who refused. “For two days, we will send them to the India-Pakistan border near Punjab. We will send them to the Pakistani side. In two days, those who do not sing Vande Mataram will return to India willingly,” he added in the speech. The MLA was booked by the Dabeerpura Police Station in Hyderabad for his speech.
‘Pinarayi, a murderer of Hindus’
In March 2017, Singh threatened to stop a meeting organized by the CPI (M) in Hyderabad, which was attended by Kerala’s Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Stating that the Hindu community was not safe in Kerala, he called Pinarayi “a murderer of Hindus”.
