Lynching is RSS, BJP legacy, says Siddharth

Actor Siddharth, who speaks his mind without any fear ofsocietal issues, has come down heavily on the RSS and BJP after the mob lynched a man allegedly for cow smuggling. In strong words, he has criticised the right-wing politics.

Reacting to BJP MLA Gyan Dev Ahuja's comment who held cops responsible for the death of Akbar Khan, accused to be a habitual cow smuggler, he tweeted, "A #BJP MLA has said the Police in #Alwar killed Rakbar Khan and blamed it on Hindus. This is the level of bullshit floating around after a man was murdered by a mob. And #BJP accuses others of politicizing this issue. Lynching is your legacy #BJP RSS #VHP Stop the lynching! [sic]"

The actor recalled the previous incident of lynching like in Alwar in Haryana and posted, "The men who murdered #PehluKhan have been protected and will not be punished. #RakbarKhan was murdered and the same will happen. #Rajasthan has truly gone to the cows and the hyenas that protect them. Mera Bharat Kahaan? [sic]"

He also hitback at Rajyavardhan Rathore tweet slamming Rahul Gandhi for his statement. The actor asked a few questions to the BJP leader as he posted, "Did a man get lynched? Was this related to cattle and #Gaurakshaks? Was the victim a Muslim? Was he taken to a gaushala before hospital? YES. The police already failed. #Justice you say? You're on the other side of that Mr. Rathore. STOP being a coward! [sic]"

However, his comments have met with criticism from the right-wing followers, who have accused him of "selective-outrage."
