The BJP on Wednesday slammed the Congress government in Rajasthan, accusing it of allowing the State to slide into becoming a "Talibani state" over the killing of a tailor, Kanhaiya Lal, allegedly to avenge an insult to Islam
The tailor was killed at his shop in Udaipur. One of the assailants, who was identified as Riyaz, attacked Kanhaiya Lal with a cleaver while the other recorded the crime on his mobile phone. The killing has triggered communal tension and a curfew was declared till further orders in seven police station areas in the city.
Addressing a presser at the BJP’s national headquarters in New Delhi, former Union Minister and MP Rajyavardhan Rathore said, “Rajasthan is on the way to become a Talibani State under Congress rule. The appeasement of Muslims by Congress has increased the audacity of the ‘jihadis’ to such an extent that they are openly killing Hindus and threatening the Prime Minister.” He held the Ashok Gehlot government squarely responsible for the incident in Udaipur.
