MLA Ketakee Singh’s Controversial Demand: Separate Medical Wing for Muslims Sparks Debate

BJP-supported Nishad Party MLA Ketakee Singh has stirred controversy with her recent statement, suggesting a separate medical wing for Muslims. Speaking in Ballia, she claimed that Muslims often object to Hindu festivals like Durga Puja and Ram Navami, and raised concerns about hygiene, indirectly questioning food practices. She argued that a separate medical facility for Muslims would ensure the safety of Hindus. Her remarks have drawn sharp criticism, with many accusing her of violating constitutional principles by advocating religious segregation. Opposition parties have slammed the statement, questioning whether the BJP will support or distance itself from such comments. Legal experts and civil society groups have called it a blatant attack on India's secular ethos. The controversy is expected to escalate as political reactions pour in, and it remains to be seen whether Ketakee Singh will clarify or retract her statement amid growing backlash.
