Fury and Swords: Karni Sena's Showdown Over Rana Sanga Comments

A controversy erupted following remarks by Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman against Rajput king Rana Sanga. The Karni Sena and other Kshatriya groups demanded an apology, gathering in Agra. Local authorities heightened security, and the Karni Sena's planned march was averted through intervention by officials and BJP leaders.

The city of Agra witnessed heightened tensions as the Karni Sena and over 40 Kshatriya groups demanded an apology from Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman for his contentious remarks about Rajput king Rana Sanga. Clad in yellow and saffron, the groups wielded swords in a defiant gathering.

The protest, centered around the 'Rakt Swabhiman Sammelan', threatened to march towards Suman's residence, prompting local authorities to ramp up security. A sensitive situation was diffused by senior officials and BJP leaders, averting the planned march.

The unrest stems from Suman's Parliament remarks, where he labeled Rana Sanga a 'traitor'. This has sparked uproar among Rajput bodies, raising questions about regional history and identity. Meanwhile, security around Suman's residence remains tight as he seeks legal protection.
