Controversy Erupts Over Rana Sanga Remarks in Lok Sabha

In the Lok Sabha, BJP MPs from Rajasthan demanded action against an SP MP for calling Rana Sanga a traitor for inviting Babur against Ibrahim Lodi. This sparked protests by Rajput group Karni Sena, resulting in vandalism at the MP's residence. The controversy raises concerns about historical narratives.

The controversy surrounding comments made in Lok Sabha about the historical figure Rana Sanga continues to escalate, as BJP MPs from Rajasthan demand action against an SP Rajya Sabha member. The SP MP, Ramji Lal Suman, allegedly referred to the erstwhile ruler of Mewar, Rana Sanga, as a 'traitor' for his historical alliance with Babur against Ibrahim Lodi.

BJP MP Mahima Kumari Mewar and Chittorgarh MP C P Joshi raised the issue during the Zero Hour session, calling for severe consequences for the derogatory remarks that undermine the legacy of Rana Sanga, who ruled Mewar from 1508 to 1528. They emphasized Rana Sanga's valiant battles and his martyrdom on the battlefield.

The comments ignited a protest led by the Karni Sena, a Rajput pride advocacy group, which vandalized the SP MP's residence in Agra. As tensions simmer, videos surface depicting the fracas, highlighting concerns over freedom of speech and respect for historical narratives.
