Rana Sanga's Descendant Vishvaraj Mewar Demands Action Against SP MP Ramji Lal Suman

(MENAFN- IANS) Jaipur, March 22 (IANS) Rajasthan BJP legislator Vishvaraj Singh Mewar, a descendant of Rana Sanga, on Saturday demanded a strict action against Samajwadi Party MP MP Ramji Lal Suman who claimed that the Rajput ruler was behind inviting Babur to India, which led to the establishment of Mughal rule.

Mewar expressed his annoyance from the X handle while sharing the video of MP and said: "Such people also reach Parliament. People like Maharana Sanga do not need any certificate, but strict action is required for making derogatory remarks against a great personality from our history. This is against the dignity of the House as well, he said.

Suman had stirred a row after calling the 16th-century Rajput king a traitor in Parliament.

He claimed that Rana Sanga played an instrumental role in bringing Babur to India. Suman made the remarks during a discussion on the functioning of the Home Ministry in the Rajya Sabha.

The statement has sparked controversy, with BJP leaders criticising it. Referring to statements by the BJP on the historical lineage of Indian Muslims, he said, "It is often repeated by BJP leaders that Muslims have the DNA of Babur. But I would like to point out that Indian Muslims do not consider Babur as their leader. In fact, who brought Babur to India? It was Rana Sanga who invited him to defeat Ibrahim Lodi.

"By that logic, if you claim Muslims are the descendants of Babur, then you are also the descendants of Rana Sanga - a traitor. We criticise Babur, but not Rana Sanga."

Mewar questioned the "accuracy" of the statement.

"What he said was wrong, and the way he said it was also wrong. Rajya Sabha is supposed to be the House of Elders. Some maturity should be shown there," the BJP MLA said.

Former Vallabhnagar MLA and BJP leader Randhir Singh Bhinder has strongly reacted to the recent remarks on Maharana Sanga, stating: "We are proud to be the descendants of Maharana Sanga.

"The entire India knows the sacrifices made by Maharana Sanga and his family to protect Hinduism. We do not need validation from those who do not understand history."
