Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India]: Even as the protest by the Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena over the murder of their president Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi continues, agitated cadres led by National General Secretary Surajbhan Singh demaned a ‘bullet for a bullet’ from the state government.
“It is not the Rajputs but the whole nation that has been attacked. I have only one demand that the accused be answered with a sword for a sword and a bullet for a bullet, the entire law and order machinery of Rajasthan has become a mere spectator,” Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena National General Secretary Surajbhan Singh said.
The Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena has enforced a statewide strike in Rajasthan on Wednesday and has warned the newly elected BJP government saying that the new government needed to take this incident seriously. Vehicles were blocked in several areas of the state as agitators set tyres on fire in protest.
The Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena has also warned the incoming BJP government to take the issue seriously or face the ire of the Rajput community.
“Rajput blood has been shed; Maharana Pratap’s blood has been shed. If you (BJP) form the government by shedding blood, then you are not worthy of sitting in the government” Surajbhaan Singh said.
Both the BJP and the Congress have been indulging in a political blame game over the murder of Karni Sena Chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. Outgoing Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot condemned the incident.
“The incident of murder of Shri Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi is very sad. I pray to God to give peace to the departed soul and strength to the family to bear this loss,” Gehlot posted on X.
Former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje said that the incident is highly condemnable and unfortunate.
