New Delhi: Union Minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh on Saturday urged people to vote for BJP to save Delhi from becoming an “Islamic state”.

“Shaheen Bagh supporters have come out to vote for Kejriwal. My appeal to the people of Delhi is that if Shaheen Bagh has to be stopped… if Delhi has to be saved from becoming an Islamic state, then go out and vote for the BJP,” Singh tweeted.

Watch what Giriraj said:

शाहीन बाग समर्थक केजरीवाल को वोट करने निकले हैं ।
मेरी दिल्ली वालों से अपील है कि अगर शाहीन बाग को रोकना है ..दिल्ली को इस्लामिक स्टेट बनने से बचाना है तो बाहर निकल कर भाजपा को वोट करें। pic.twitter.com/lg1ZQxJNIm
