However, Rana claimed that he did not make any remark against any religion and asserted that he only said that if he wins then the hooligans who had forced other people to migrate from Kairana, Deoband and Moradabad and other areas will have to migrate from these areas.

He claimed that several people had moved out of these areas due to fear of the hooligans.

Meanwhile, Mriganka Singh -daughter of BJP leader Hukum Singh who had made it to the headlines in 2016 after he released a list of Hindu families who had moved from Kairana – has grabbed the BJP ticket to contest from the region. It was alleged that the hate speeches were made by Hukum Singh to create a platform for his daughter’s launch.
