Hindu spiritual leader Jagadguru Rambhadracharya on Thursday slammed Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan over the signing of a Bangladeshi cricketer by the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which is co-owned by the actor.
Reacting to KKR’s decision to sign Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman for the IPL 2026 season, Rambhadracharya described the move as “very unfortunate,” alleging that Shah Rukh Khan’s outlook has “always been like that of a traitor.”
The seer made these remarks while speaking to PTI Videos in Nagpur.
Rambhadracharya strongly condemned the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh and asserted that the Indian government should not tolerate such incidents. He urged New Delhi to adopt an aggressive stance on the issue to safeguard the interests of Hindus living in the neighbouring country.
He further stated that the people and government of Bangladesh should be reminded of the historical role played by Hindus in the formation of their country. He said that Bangladesh came into existence with significant support from Hindus, a fact that should not be forgotten.
