After a video showed pieces of meat scattered inside a temple premises in Hyderabad, claims have emerged that it was a deliberate act to disrupt the sanctity of a Hindu place of worship. The incident took place at the Jirra Hanuman Temple in the Tappachabutra locality of old city Hyderabad on February 12.<\/p>\n

Some social media users alleged that unidentified people jumped inside the temple from the backside and threw chunks of meat near the Shiva Linga, which represents the Hindu deity Shiva. Others highlighted that the incident happened in a constituency represented by a Muslim politician \u2014 AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.<\/p>\n

The day the video emerged, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Telangana, Raja Singh, shared the clip and called it a “deliberate act of provocation” by “anti-social elements” under Congress rule. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Note that the MLA, who also goes by T Raja Singh, has a history of delivering hateful speeches targeting the Muslim community<\/a>. He was\u00a0suspended<\/a> from the BJP for nearly a year after a major row over his remarks on Prophet Mohammad. However, he was on the list of the party’s official campaigners during the general election last year where he delivered hate speeches<\/a>, referring to Muslims as “Pakistani Mullo” and threatening to throw them out of the country.<\/p>\n
