Udaipur, July 1: The beheading of Hindu man Kanhaiya Lal by two Islamists, Mohammed Riyaz Akhtar and Mohammed Gaus, for supporting Nupur Sharma has shocked the country. While the investigation of the case has been taken over by the NIA, a video has emerged where the family of the slain call Ashok Gehlot a 'slave of Muslims'.
According to reports, Kanhaiya Lal's sister said that Hindus are being killed everywhere. “The government is not for Hindus. Hindus are being killed every day but nobody listens to the Hindus. But, if anything happens to Muslims, even a little bit, the government will be standing for them”, a sister of his said. She further demanded that the two Muslim accused should be cut up just the way they cut her brother, Kanhaiya Lal.
When asked what she would like to tell the Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, she said, “I don’t want to say anything to him. He is the number 1 slave of Muslims”.
On Thursday, after the statements of the family and other Hindu organisations who have been protesting against the brutal murder, CM Ashok Gehlot finally decided to meet the family of slain Kanhaiya Lal.
Lal’s son, Yash, demanded security for the family and also the death penalty for the guilty. "We have demanded security. My father was not provided security but we should be provided. We have been assured of the same. The culprits should not be given anything less than a death sentence,” Yash said.
On Thursday, CM Gehlot reached Udaipur to meet deceased Kanhaiya Lal’s family. While talking to the media, Gehlot talked about the Islamist communal crime as an ‘act of terror’ with connections outside the country.
