Hindu seer Rambhadracharya slams Shah Rukh Khan over his IPL team signing Bangladeshi cricketer

Nagpur: Hindu spiritual leader Jagatguru Rambhadracharya on Thursday slammed Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan over the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owned by him signing a Bangladeshi cricketer amid atrocities on Hindus in the neighbouring country.

Asked about the KKR signing Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman for the IPL 2026, the seer told PTI Videos in Nagpur that this is very unfortunate as his (Shah Rukh's) approach has always been as that of a "traitor".

He denounced attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh and asserted the Indian government should not tolerate such incidents and take an aggressive stand on the issue.

The people of Bangladesh and their government ought to be explained that their country was formed with the help of Hindus, Rambhadracharya said.
