Ramji Lal Suman alleged that those descending from the 16th century Rajput king Rana Sanga were ‘traitors’.
The Karni Sena and more than 40 other Kshatriya-caste groups held rallies to celebrate the ‘Rakt Samman Sammelan’ (Blood Respect Conference), on Saturday in Uttar Pradesh's Agra, and demanded an apology from Samajwadi Party leader Ramji Lal Suman for insulting Rajput king Rana Sanga.
They also threatened that if Suman did not apologise, they would take action against him. The Karni Sena's state president, Sandeep Singh, said, “A key decision was taken during the gathering. If MP Ramji Lal Suman's apology for his remarks does not come soon, the participating Kshatriya organisations will formulate a strategy of action.”
Rajya Sabhi MP Suman, on March 21, said in parliament that is Muslims are considered Babur's descendants and thus traitors, then even those descending from the 16th century Rajput king Rana Sanga were also the same.
He argued that Rana Sanga had invited Mughal emperor Babur to India to defeat Ibrahim Lodhi, the last sultan of the Delhi Sultanate.
His comments sparked outrage among the Rajput community, including the Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha and the Karni Sena.
