A member of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was arrested on August 23rd and charged with "habitually delivering provocative and inflammatory speeches." Thakur Raja Singh, a Member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly (MLA) since 2014, was arrested as thousands of Muslims went into the streets to protest one of his speeches against the Prophet Muhammad. Two weeks before Singh's arrest, the MLA threatened to burn down the venue of Munawar Faruqui's show in Hyderabad. Faruqui is a Muslim comedian accused of making fun of Hindu gods. Singh posted a video on social media threatening to beat Faruqui and throw him out of Telangana. "None can stop us – this is a challenge," Singh declared. Earlier this year, Faruqui was arrested and charged with blasphemy, despite a lack of evidence. Not content with his threats to Faruqui, Singh released another video with "derogatory" comments against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. Singh was arrested but was released the same day. Singh explained that his video was targeted solely at Faruqui and was not targeted at any religious community. But the BJP is not taking chances on Singh's charged statements. Before his arrest, Prime Minister Modi's party suspended Singh over his "insults."
