- Raja Singh asks Telangana government on festival differences
- Calls for Navratri celebrations like Ramzan Iftar
Hyderabad: Raja Singh, Goshamahal MLA, questioned the Telangana government over what he called differences between Hindu and Muslim festivals. He issued a statement on Tuesday raising concerns about the conduct of official celebrations.
In his statement, Raja Singh asked why the Congress government organises Iftar for Muslims but does not announce similar special events for Hindus. He said the government should treat all communities equally. Therefore, he urged the administration to make an announcement for special celebrations for Hindus.
Raja Singh Seeks Navratri Celebrations Like Iftar
Raja Singh demanded that the government arrange special celebrations for Navratri in the same way it organises Iftar during Ramzan. He argued that if the government can hold Iftar gatherings, then it should also support Hindu festivals in a similar manner. Meanwhile, he questioned the intent behind selective celebrations.
He further asked whether leaders who organise Iftar celebrations for Muslim votes do not need Hindu votes. Through this remark, he suggested that political considerations may be influencing such decisions. However, he did not provide further details beyond his statement.
Political Warning Over Festival Celebrations
Raja Singh also suggested that Hindus should give a warning to political parties that put a cap on Muslim votes. He implied that voters should respond to what he described as unequal treatment. At the same time, he maintained that his demand focused on equal recognition of festivals.
The statement has added to the ongoing political debate around festival celebrations and government support. Meanwhile, no response from the Telangana government was mentioned in the input provided.
Raja Singh’s remarks centre on the demand for parity in organising special events for Hindu festivals such as Navratri, similar to Iftar during Ramzan. Therefore, the issue now highlights questions of political messaging and public celebrations in the state.
