Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) (India), April 10 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party's Jammu and Kashmir MLA, Mehraj Malik, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of "resorting to hooliganism" and alleged that his voice is being "suppressed" in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
He also made a controversial statement on the late former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, accusing the latter of "betraying" the Muslim community.
Malik told reporters in Jammu, "... I stand by my statements on Mufti Mohammad Sayeed... They cannot scare me... Mufti Sayeed has died, and it's a fact. I have not used the words which they fear... He has betrayed the Muslim community. It is because of Mufti Sayeed that I am in this condition and BJP is resorting to hooliganism. If my voice is being suppressed in the house and if I am being attacked outside the house, it is because of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed..."
Earlier on Wednesday, a scuffle broke out in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly following comments made by Mehraj Malik on Hindus, leading to multiple MLAs being marshalled out by officials.
Reportedly, certain Bhartiya Janata Party MLAs objected to alleged comments made by Mehraj Malik, where he claimed that Hindus wear a 'tilak' but sin all the time.
Reacting to the comments, BJP MLA Vikram Randhawa, who was in the assembly when the scuffle broke out, condemned Malik's comments.
"Today, he has insulted Hindus; will he do anything he wants? We will protest this, he has insulted Hindus saying that Hindus wear tilak and sin, steal from people, drink alcohol, we will tell him what Hindus do."
Meanwhile, AAP MLA Mehraj Malik also got into a heated argument with PDP MLA Waheed Parra.
"You have been a traitor...he has brought in the mafia. There are so many people outside. Who are these people?" Malik told Para
While talking with reporters, Malik said, "He tells me I have no respect or manners. Will he teach me?"
The AAP MLA further claimed that he had been attacked by BJP workers. (ANI)
