The death of Delhi resident Rinku Sharma found an echo in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, and the president of the protem of the state assembly, Rameshwar Sharma, said the murder was due to him working for the “cause of dharma and Hindutva. ”.
This comes two days after protem speaker Rameshwar Sharma shared a cartoon on Facebook of a man stabbed in the back by a man wearing a cap, with the hashtag ‘Justice for Rinku Sharma’. He claimed that he received threats after the publication.
When contacted, Rameshwar Sharma told The Indian Express, “Rinku Sharma was attacked and killed and if there was a problem about a business deal gone bad, did the police get any complaints about it before? When the person is dead, you can say anything since the person is not there to give his version of events. “
He claimed that according to information he had received based on eyewitness accounts, Rinku was conducting a donation drive for the construction of the Ram Temple when he was surrounded and killed. “He was a worker from Bajrang Dal and would do his job. It is our duty to protect it. People will keep killing workers like this and then they will say that there was a business dispute and other problems; but the point remains that they killed him, ”he said.
Claiming that this was a systematic attack on the workers who were doing the “Hindutva work”, Sharma said: “I can give you 10 names of those who were killed from Rinku Sharma, Ankit Saxena, Chandan Gupta, Ankita Tomar, Dilwar Negi to Prashant Puraji, these people were, at some point, doing dharma work or working for Hindutva. “
