MP BJP Legislator's Son Threatens to Shoot Jyotiraditya Scindia in Facebook Post

Damoh: BJP legislator Uma Devi Khatik's son Princedeep Lalchand Khatik, in a social media post on Monday, threatened to shoot Congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Lalchand Khatik wrote in a Facebook post: "Jyotiraditya Scindia, you have Jiwajirao's blood running in your veins, who killed Jhansi ki Rani. If you step in Hatta then I will shoot you. Either you will die or I will."

His statement comes ahead of Scindia's scheduled visit to Hatta district to hold a rally on September 5.

Uma Devi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Madhya Pradesh's Hatta Vidhan Sabha constituency told IANS: "This post is unfortunate. Scindia is a respectable MP. I will ask my son to remove the post."

Former Congress Minister Raja Pateriya said that the BJP is scared of Mr Scindia's immense popularity. He said that the police should conduct an immediate inquiry into the matter and step up security to Mr Scindia.
