Shaheen Bagh protesters can enter homes and rape our sisters and daughters: BJP MP Pravesh Verma

“People of Delhi know that the incident that had happened in Kashmir, the daughters and sisters of Kashmiri Pandits were raped. Similar incidents continued to happen in Uttar Pradesh, Hyderabad, Kerala. Today, a similar situation has arisen at a place in Delhi (Shaheen Bagh). Lakhs of people gather there. People of Delhi will have to think and make a decision. They can enter your houses, rape your sisters and daughters and kill them. There’s time today, Modiji and Amit Shah won’t come to save you tomorrow… People are safe until Narendra Modi is the prime Minister. If someone else takes charge, nobody will feel safe here,” Verma said.

The BJP MP also said that he will remove all mosques built on government land in his Lok Sabha constituency of West Delhi. “If our government is formed, then give me just one month after February. I will remove all the mosques built on government land in my constituency.”
