Modi minister Giriraj Singh calls Hindus as ‘Hijras’

TIL Desk/National/Patna-Union Minister Giriraj Singh, known for dancing in controversy, has shot his mouth off yet again. In a video that has gone viral on social media, the Union minister of state for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises describes Hindus as ‘hijras’ (eunuchs).

‘Hinduo jaisa koi hijra kaum dusra nahin hain,’ Singh was heard saying in the video clip. ‘Agar Hindu hota toh, Patna ke Kargil chowk pe koi Pakistan zindabad ka nara nahin lagata, sabko eke k dhela marker maar detein (‘If they were Hindus, then they wouldn’t dare chant “Pakistan zindabad” slogans or else they would be beaten up),’ the mantri added.

Singh warns Hindus in the video that it is the beginning of worse things to come. When asked about his statements, Singh said he had not made any such statements in public and it was wrong and unethical of the media to record private conversations and put them out for all to listen.
