Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Uma Devi Khatik’s son Princedeep Lalchand Khatik has threatened to murder Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia ahead of his September 5 visit in Madhya Pradesh’s Hatta district.
In a Facebook post Princedeep wrote, “Jyotiraditya Scindia, you have Jiwajirao’s blood running in your veins, who killed Jhansi ki Rani. If you step in Hatta then I will shoot you. Either you will die or I will”.
According to a NDTV report, Uma Devi called the post “unfortunate”. She also said, “Scindia is a respectable MP. I will ask my son to remove the post.”
Former Congress minister Raja Pateriya asked the police to conduct an inquiry immediately. He said that BJP is scared of Scindia’s popularity, NDTV reported.
Under the BJP government, the law and order situation in the state has worsened. It is shocking to see an announcement on social media platform threatening to murder an MP. This simply reflects the lack of fear from the legal system
