In a speech in Hyderabad, the capital of telangana, bharatiya janata party (BJP) mla T raja Singh stoked anti-Muslim emotions by charging them with thook jihad. The right-wing Hindu conspiracy theory, known as "thook jihad," charges Muslims with spitting on food that is going to be sold.

Raja Singh is heard giving a speech and saying that the telangana government must pass a rule requiring vendors to publish the identity of the business owner, much like in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This is all according to a rumoured video from Hyderabad.


"The Kanwar yatra is celebrated with grandeur in Uttar Pradesh. raja Singh said that yogi Adityanath, the chief minister, ordered all stores to display the names of their owners because some individuals "thook jihad" by spitting on food, water, and other objects.
 
He went on to accuse Muslims of deceiving people by operating their businesses under Hindu identities. raja Singh remarked, "But now they have to say clearly who their owners are so that our Hindu brothers are aware."
 
Raja Singh is referring to an order, but the supreme court has placed it on hold.
 
The top court granted a temporary reprieve from the orders issued by Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, two BJP-ruled states, requiring restaurants along the Kanwar yatra route to post the names of their proprietors, employees, and other information.
 

The action, according to the opposition, was meant to encourage discrimination based on religion.
 
Recently, raja Singh allegedly made hateful remarks about Muslims at a madhya pradesh gathering; the footage of his alleged remarks have gone viral on social media.
