Usman Gani, ousted BJP leader who criticised PM Modi over his Muslim remark arrested

Days after criticising PM Modi's statement about Muslims, the BJP's former Bikaner minority cell president Usman Gani has been jailed on charges of 'breach of peace'.

The India Express reported, that Usman went to the Prasad Nagar police station on Saturday. Dhirendra Shekhawat, SHO, said " A police vehicle was sent to Gani's locality as a precautionary measure, on the day he issued a statement against PM Modi. Gani was in Delhi he reached directly to the police station."

Shekhawat further added Usman told the police "how dare they send a vehicle to his home". "There was a barricade outside the police station he started an argument with the police personnel deployed there and we locked him up," Shekhawat added.

A case under CrPC section 151 has been logged against Gani for 'breach of peace' and will be presented before district magistrate. SHO said, "To maintain peace we will bound him down for six months." The police didn't provide any details on why a police vehicle was sent to Gani's home. However, sub-inspector Radheshyam said, "Gani had made some comments... his video went viral and for that action under CrPC 151 has been taken."

Gani in an interview expressed his displeasure after PM Modi in an election rally said Congress would audit your property and take your jewelry and hand it over to those who have many children, a reference towards Muslims. Gani said that when he goes to seek votes from the Muslims for BJP, they ask for the answers to the remarks PM made.

In the recent past, Gani's picture went viral welcoming PM Modi where he was seen wearing a prayer cap. He has been associated with ABVP and then BJP for about 20 years.

Gani was expelled from the party's basic membership for six years for breach of discipline. BJP's Minority Morch state president Hameed Khan Mewati said "Action will be taken against anyone who speaks against the party. The party took action after Gani crossed the party line and spoke wrong against the party."
