#ArrestYograjSingh has been trending on social media after the clip of Yograj Singh’s hate speech went viral. Many people are seen terming his comments blasphemous, inflammatory, derogatory, and hateful.
Yograj Singh was heard making extreme remarks on Hindu women “Inki aurate take-take ke bhaw bikti thi” (their women were sold for two cents). When their women and daughters were abducted by people like Ahmed Shah Durrani and sold off, it was we Sikhs who saved them, said Yograj Singh.
He said, “Yeh Woh log hai jinhone hamare saath gaddari ki hai, yeh woh kaun hai jinhone hazaron saal gulami ki 5000, 7000 saal (these are the people who have betrayed us, this community has been slaves for thousands of years).”
“Our leaders have betrayed us. We voted for them and brought them to power, and they instead stabbed the farmers in the back, in the past, I have seen how these political leaders were auctioned for Rs 5, 10, 15, 20 crores in Delhi,” he further said in the viral video.
While attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for being Gujaratis, Yograj Singh said, “He had spent 15 years with Gujaratis in Mumbai these people would take a u-turn even if they swore on their mothers, sisters, and daughters.”
Yograj Singh urged the protesters to be a ‘Jarnail’ in themselves. “Every person here is a Jarnail if you want to save Punjab, ensure that power is in your hands. If the power is in your hand, you will see a new sun rising from the land of Punjab.”
In another video, he could be heard saying “If they (Modi) open the borders and the situation comes to a clash, I challenge PM Modi to remove CRPF, BSF, Army, and Police and come alone. Then we will see how things go ahead.”
