Ramjilal Suman’s Caustic Comment on Rana Sanga Draws Karni Sena's Ire, MP's Residence Vandalized

Former Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Ramjilal Suman found himself at the center of a political storm after his remarks on Rana Sanga, the revered Rajput king, triggered outrage. Members of the Rajasthan-based Karni Sena, known for their aggressive stance on historical and cultural matters, vandalized his residence in Etawah, leading to a violent clash with the police.

Karni Sena: Rajasthan-Based Group Known for Protests on Historical and Cultural Issues

The Karni Sena, a Rajput organization with strongholds in Rajasthan and adjoining states, has frequently made headlines for protests related to historical figures and cultural representation. From opposing Bollywood films to taking on politicians, the group has consistently taken a hardline stance on Rajput pride and legacy.

Violent Protest Erupts at MP’s Residence

On Tuesday, a large Karni Sena mob stormed Ramjilal Suman’s house, raising slogans against his alleged disrespectful remarks on Rana Sanga. Videos circulating on social media show protesters breaking windows, damaging property, and clashing with security forces.

Police were forced to intervene, leading to a heated standoff. Several protesters were detained, while officers tried to control the escalating violence.

Political Reactions and Fallout

While Karni Sena leaders demand an apology from Suman, SP leaders have condemned the attack, calling it a threat to democratic values.

Authorities are now investigating the matter, and security has been tightened around the former MP’s residence to prevent further escalation. Meanwhile, the incident has reignited debates over freedom of speech versus historical sensitivities in political discourse. 

SP Leaders Condemn Attack, Call for Strict Action

The Samajwadi Party has strongly condemned the attack on its senior leader. SP spokespersons have accused right-wing groups of resorting to violence instead of engaging in debate. They have also demanded that authorities take strict action against those responsible for the vandalism.

Meanwhile, Ramjilal Suman has stood by his remarks, stating that he did not intend to disrespect anyone and that his comments were taken out of context. He also criticized the Karni Sena for resorting to violence, calling it a threat to free speech and democratic values.
