Tensions Escalate: Karni Sena Attacks MP's Residence Over Rana Sanga Remarks

Ramji Lal Suman's residence was attacked by Karni Sena following his controversial remarks about Rana Sanga. The incident involved vandalism and drew criticism from political figures, questioning the state's law enforcement efficacy. Karni Sena demanded an apology, claiming the remarks insulted Rajput pride.

The residence of Samajwadi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman was vandalized on Wednesday by activists from Karni Sena. The attack came days after Suman's controversial remarks about Rana Sanga in Parliament, which sparked widespread outrage, particularly amongst Rajput groups.

Karni Sena, demanding apologies from Suman and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, initiated the protest against what they perceived as an insult to their historical hero. Despite urging peaceful demonstrations, the protest turned violent as activists damaged property at Suman's house.

In response, Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Uttar Pradesh government's touted 'zero tolerance' policy on crime, pointing out the law enforcement's failure to prevent the attack despite the Chief Minister's presence in Agra. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and political allegiances within the region.
