Watch: After 'Dalit' remark, now BJP' Bukkal Nawab claims Lord Hanuman was Muslim; says, 'Hanuman ji Musalman the'

Playing caste politics over Lord Hanuman has not stopped from the BJP as now BJP MLC Bukkal Nawab has claimed that “Lord Hanuman is Muslim.”

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath during the poll campaign in Rajasthan had claimed that Lord Hanuman was “Dalit,” and later on the politics of Hindutva had started.

A Hindu group in Rajasthan had then sent a legal notice to Yogi Adityanath seeking an apology from the UP CM. Now, a BJP leader and the member of legislative council Bukkal Nawab has claimed that Lord Hanuman was a “Muslim.”

Nawab has said to ANI, “Hamara man'na hai Hanuman ji Muslaman theyy, isliye Musalmanon ke andar jo naam rakha jata hai Rehman, Ramzan, Farman, Zishan, Qurban jitne bhi naam rakhe jaate hain wo karib karib unhi par rakhe jaate hain.”

In the mean time, Yogi Adityanath had rallied at 26 places in Rajasthan and BJP lost 13 of them, which includes the constituency wherein Yogi claimed that “Lord Hanuman is a Dalit.”
