Rana Sanga Row: Karni Sena Rides Bulldozers To SP MP Ramji Lal Suman's House In Agra

The Karni Sena workers gathered outside the residence of the SP MP, and an attempt was made to break the gate to the MP's residence.

Agra: Hundreds of Karni Sena workers marched to Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman's residence with bulldozers and resorted to vandalism and stone pelting on Wednesday in reaction to his recent controversial comments on Rajput warrior Rana Sanga.

A large number of Karni Sena workers raised slogans against the SP MP and also tried to break the gate of the MP's residence. Visuals from the spot showed them throwing chairs, vandalizing the property and damaging parked vehicles.

Police tried to pacify the protesters, but as the latter continued with violent protests, the cops had to resort to baton charges. As per the latest inputs, hundreds of Karni Sena workers are still standing in front of the MP's residence.

A video of the Rajya Sabha MP surfaced recently in which he is purportedly heard saying that Rana Sanga was a “traitor” who brought Babur to defeat Ibrahim Lodi. Rana Sanga, or Sangram Singh I, was the ruler of Mewar from 1508 to 1528.

Karni Sena youth national president Okendra Rana had given the protest call in a video statement. "SP MP Ramjilal Suman has said a cheap thing against the great man of the Kshatriya society...Rana Sanga has to be written on every brick of the MP's residence. This time we will not forgive. If he has to apologize, he will have to apologize by rubbing his nose on the memorial of Maharana Sanga in Rupbas. Rajput and Kshatriya society should unite and show that anyone should think before saying anything about our great men," Rans said.
