Shocking Reason Why Telangana's BJP Lawmaker Won't Take Oath
# Raja Singh made these accusations and claims in a video message
# An AIMIM spokesperson said that the party does not want to react
# Raja Singh also said that he will consult legal experts on rules regarding oath-taking ceremony
Telangana, Jan 06: Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh on Sunday said that he would not take oath in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) legislator Mumtaz Ahmed Khan, who would be acting as a pro-tem Speaker and alleged that the Asaduddin Owaisi-led party is anti-Hindu.
The other reasons for his refusal to take oath in the presence of an AIMIM pro-tem Speaker are that the party never sings Vande Mataram and refuses to chant Bharat Mata ki Jai.
On January 16, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan would take oath as pro-tem Speaker at Raj Bhavan. The MLAs would be taking oath on January 17.
Raja Singh, a legislator from Goshamahal, made these accusations and claims in a video message posted on his Twitter handle.
The video tweet was captioned: "#Telangana government decided to make #AIMIM MLA as pro-tem Speaker of newly elected #Telangana Assembly. I wouldn't take oath in front of such speaker."
"Telangana chief minister who is a follower of Nizam [the erstwhile ruler of Hyderabad state] and MIM took a decision at night to make an MIM MLA pro-tem speaker. I will not go to the assembly and take oath in his presence. Other party leaders may go but I will not," Raja Singh said.
"I, Raja Singh, will not take oath in presence of such a party leader whose party [AIMIM] speaks of finishing off the Hindus. I will not take oath in presence of a leader whose party never sing Vande Mataram or say Bharat Mata ki Jai."
Raja Singh also said that he will consult legal experts on rules regarding oath-taking ceremony.
On Raja Singh's statement, an AIMIM spokesperson told PTI that the party does not want to react. The first session of the newly-elected assembly will be held from January 17 to 20.

West Asia conflict: Modi calls ministerial meeting to review energy situation
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a meeting Sunday evening with senior ministers to review to take stock of petroleum, power, and fertiliser sectors in view of the evolving West Asia situation, sources have said.
The focus of the meeting is to ensure uninterrupted supply, stable logistics and efficient distribution across the country, and the government is taking proactive steps to this end, they said.
Continuous monitoring of global developments to protect consumer and industry interests is the key focus of the government, they said.
On March 12, Modi said that the war in West Asia has triggered a worldwide energy crisis, posing a critical test of national character that requires dealing with circumstances through peace, patience, and increased public awareness.
The prime minister emphasised that his government is working relentlessly to address disruptions that have emerged in international supply chains.
"Continuous efforts are also underway to determine how we can overcome the disruptions that have occurred in the supply chain," Modi said.
The prime minister has spoken to many global leaders since the West Asia conflict started on February 28, with the US and Israel attacking Iran.
Iran has retaliated by attacking Israel and several of its Gulf neighbours.
Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route through which 20 per cent of the world's energy is transported. Since the conflict, very few ships have been allowed by Iran to cross it.
The blockade has resulted in severe disruptions in energy supply to many countries, including India.
Since the conflict, Modi has had telephonic conversations with leaders from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, France, Malaysia, Israel and Iran.
