What Raja Singh said

"Nowadays, a lot of Hindus are visiting Ajmer Dargah. If any of them come to know of the real history of Ajmer Dargah, I challenge they wouldn't go there and bow their heads thereafter. This is the dargah that threw Prithviraj Chouhan's wife to the soldiers for raping. Woh ek haraami ka dargah hai aur uski khabar hein woh," said Raja Singh in a video that has gone viral
