Ex-top cop Brij Lal, now BJP MP, delivers ‘Game Of Thrones’ style monologue

Lucknow:

A ‘Game of Thrones’ connection to Uttar Pradesh may be unthinkable – or not, with BJP MP Brij Lal declaring that he was a ‘don’ when it came to protecting law and order while riding on a replica of the ‘ Iron Throne’ sat.

The BJP MP from Rajya Sabha was Uttar Pradesh’s top cop from 2011 to 2012 and headed the UP Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Commission before becoming an MP.

The latest video shows the former top cop sitting on the replica of the ‘Iron Throne’ from the fantasy drama ‘Game of Thrones’. He says that (the replica of) the throne was made by the producer of a movie.

“I’m sitting on a chair that was used in a movie. There are swords here… a movie producer made it. It looks like a mafia don is sitting on it. But I’m not a mafia don, I’m a former mafia don. police officer. I was another mafia: the one of the law, which cleansed society of criminals, mafia and terrorists,” he says in the video.

“I am not a Don, but a Don who has worked within the confines of the law and fought against crime for over 37 years as an IPS officer. I’m sure this throne was made for some mafia don in a movie,” he continues.

In the video, the 1977 batch officer also recalls working in various capacities in different departments, including when he led the Special Task Force and the Anti-Terror Squad. He also remembers his academy days and says he has a collection of swords.
