“They follow Muhammad Saheb and the Sufi tradition. However, I want to ask, who brought Babur here? It was Rana Sanga who invited Babur to defeat Ibrahim Lodhi. So, if that’s the case, then Hindus must be descendants of the traitor Sanga. We criticise Babur, but why do we not criticise Rana Sanga?,” the MP had asked the upper house.The MP has since faced heavy backlash from right-wing Hindu groups such as the Vishva Hindu Parishad and Karni Sena.Karni Sena activists started assembling at Etmadpur crossing since 10 am and then marched to the MP’s house in the Hariparwat locality.They allegedly attempted to storm the house’s main gate, but the police resisted their efforts. Three policemen were injured in the attack.While the police authorities were trying to take control of the situation, Samajwadi party workers arrived on the spot to confront Karni Sena activists.In the meantime, to quell to protests and disperse the protestors, the district police personnel had to use a mild lathi charge on the crowd. Some of the protestors were arrested as well.“After dispersing the protesting crowd, additional police force has been deployed in the nearby areas to ensure peace. A few arrests have been made, but they will be released soon,” said Alok Kumar, Station House Officer (SHO) of Hariparwat police station.
