Tonk Blanket Row: Ex-BJP MP Humiliates Muslim Women, Hindu Neighbors Stand in Support
•Former BJP MP Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria allegedly humiliated Muslim women, including 60-year-old Shakuran Bano, at a blanket distribution event in Tonk, Rajasthan.
•Shakuran Bano expressed pain over the public humiliation and blankets being snatched back, not the lack of a blanket itself.
•Hindu neighbors, led by Sarpanch's husband Hanuman Chaudhary, strongly condemned the incident, burning Jaunapuria's effigy and supporting Shakuran Bano.
•Villagers stated that Jaunapuria tried to disrupt the long-standing Hindu-Muslim brotherhood in Kareda Buzurg, where Muslims are only 3% of the population.
•The incident sparked political outrage, with the Rajasthan Congress Minority Cell visiting Shakuran Bano and demanding Jaunapuria's expulsion from BJP.
