Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh) Sporting a saffron stole, Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesman, Rakesh Tikait, has offered a bell weighing 51 kilograms at a Shiva temple. This comes after his chants of ‘Allah hu Akbar’ at the Kisan Maha Panchayat earlier this month.
Tikait arrived at the Shiva temple on Thursday, wearing a saffron stole. He blew the conch shells and offered the bell.
“Does the BJP have a copyright over this colour? he said when asked about his saffron stole. ”If the BJP is so averse to Muslims, they should abandon their houses built by Muslims. They should also disclose how many Muslims are working for them. Who stitches clothes for them? They must tell us.”
He said, “I am offering this bell to Lord Shiva just to see if this government will hear its sound. They have not been listening to farmers for 10 months,” said Tikait.During his visit to the temple, Tikait did not visit his home.
“I will not go home until the three contentious farm laws are abolished,” he said.IANS
