Protesters on a sit-in against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh will be cleared in an hour if the BJP comes to power in Delhi, a parliamentarian from the party has announced, lacing his comments with a sensational accusation: "They will enter your houses, rape your sisters and daughters".
"This is not just another election. It is an election to decide the unity of a nation. If the BJP comes to power on February 11, you will not find a single protester within an hour. And within a month, we will not spare a single mosque built on government land," Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said.
Elaborating his remarks to news agency ANI on Tuesday, he said, "Lakhs of people gather there (Shaheen Bagh)... They will enter your houses, rape your sisters and daughters, kill them. There's time today, (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi ji and Amit Shah won't come to save you tomorrow."
An MP from West Delhi, Mr Verma was campaigning for next month's Delhi assembly election in Vikaspuri.
