Breaking: Row Over SRK Buying Bangladeshi Player Amid Hindu Rights Anger

Anger in India over alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh has now spilled into the IPL, with actor Shah Rukh Khan coming under attack. BJP leader Sangeet Som questioned SRK for buying Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman for ₹9 crore for his IPL team KKR, using strong and controversial language. He alleged that a player from a “Hindu-hostile country” should not have been picked and even threatened a boycott. The remarks triggered a political row, with RJD leaders strongly objecting to the targeting of Shah Rukh Khan. RJD said art and sports should not be dragged into politics and defended SRK, calling the controversy unnecessary and divisive. The issue has intensified political debate amid rising India-Bangladesh tensions.
