Vegetable vendor threatened by BJP MLA
2020-04-29
In a video that has surfaced during the COVID-19 Lockdown, MLA Brijbhushan Rajput can be seen intimidating a vendor and harassing him when it was discovered that he was a member of a minority group (Muslim community). Rajput is seen intimidating the vegetable vendor and telling him not to come back into his neighbourhood after a young boy who was with the man revealed that the man was indeed a Muslim. Since COVID-positive individuals had to travel from Delhi's Tabligh Markaz to other regions of the nation, many BJP officials have begun denouncing the whole Muslim population. MLA Brijbhushan Rajput later claimed that he was simply shunning the man due to his lies and the fact that in some areas, there had been a significant rise of COVID-19 infections among vegetable vendors.
