India Today
The BJP on Saturday mentioned Sidhu Moose Wala and Kanhaiya Lal, the Udaipur tailor who was murdered in the condolence message that was passed in the national convention meeting.
Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal and Punjab singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s names were mentioned in the condolence message passed at the BJP’s national executive meeting that was held in Hyderabad on Saturday. Kanhaiya Lal was killed by two men on June 28 over a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma. Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants on May 29.
BJP’s general secretary Dilip Saikia also mentioned the loss of over 126 lives in the Assam floods, BJP workers killed in different states and the death of an Army personnel during a landslide in Manipur, said sources.
Kanhaiya Lal’s murder sparked a nation wide outrage and became a flashpoint against the Gehlot government in Rajasthan. It was revealed afterwards that Kanhaiya had informed the local police that he received threats over a social media post shared on his account. However, the police had not taken any tangible action.

According to sources, the Udaipur beheading case is likely to figure in the political resolution which is expected to be presented on the second day. Earlier, Vasundhara Raje, the BJP national vice president and former Rajasthan Chief Minister, said during a press conference that the national convention meeting would discuss “every important political development in the country”.
However, the main agenda of the meeting is to present the party’s achievements as an example to the voters of Telangana so they can challenge the Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) K Chandrashekar Rao in the upcoming polls.
The condolence message also mentioned Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29, a day after the Punjab government pruned the security cover of the singer and 423 people temporarily.
