The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Sunday revoked the suspension of its Telangana MLA T Raja Singh, who was suspended by the party in August last year for his purported remarks against the Prophet in a video posted on social media.
“The central disciplinary committee of the BJP revoked the suspension of Shri T Raja Singh MLA Gosha Mahal from the BJP after due consideration of his explanation in response to the show cause notice served by the party,” a press release issued by the party stated.
The BJP leader appeared in the party’s first list of candidates released on Sunday for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state on November 30. The party had issued a show cause notice to Singh, asking him to submit a written reply by September 2, 2022.
In a letter sent to Singh, Om Pathak, the member secretary of BJP’s central disciplinary committee, had said the Telangana leader “expressed views contrary to the Party’s position on various matters, which is in clear violation of Rule XXV 10 (a) of constitution of the Bharatiya Janata Party”.
The BJP MLA from Goshamahal arrested by the police on August 25, 2022, under the Preventive Detention Act after he allegedly insulted the Prophet in a video released in response to stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui’s show in Hyderabad.
Though he was released on bail immediately after his arrest, the state government invoked the Act against him and he was lodged in the Cherlapally central prison.
In November, the Telangana High Court ordered the release of the BJP MLA.
