Karni Sena Attack on Dalit MP’s Agra Home Sparks National Debate on Free Speech and Law Enforcement

Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman refuses to apologize for calling Rana Sanga a 'traitor,' as political tensions rise over the lack of arrests following the violent attack.

Karni Sena members attacked the residence of Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman in Agra on March 26, vandalizing property and injuring police officers, following his remarks on Rajput ruler Rana Sanga.
Despite FIRs filed against Karni Sena leader Okendra Singh Rana and an unidentified mob, no arrests have been made as of March 28, raising concerns over law enforcement's handling of the case.
Ramji Lal Suman has defended his comments, citing historical accounts, and stated he will not apologize, framing the attack as an assault on free speech and democracy.
Opposition leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav, have condemned the violence, accusing the BJP of enabling such incidents and threatening state-wide agitation if action is not taken.
The incident has reignited debates over caste-based identity politics, historical interpretation, and the safety of elected officials in Uttar Pradesh.
