'Cremate me, hand my body to Hindu friend': Wasim Rizvi following controversy over Quran verses | WATCH

Former Uttar Pradesh Shia Central Waqf Board chairman Wasim Rizvi has reportedly received death threats from Muslims for filing a PIL in the Supreme Court seeking the removal of verses from the Quran, which he alleges “teach violence”. Rizvi also released a book titled Muhammad, which portrays Prophet Muhammad in a bad light. Following these controversies and threats, Rizvi has recorded himself expressing his desire to be cremated according to Hindu rituals and not buried. In the video, Rizvi mentioned that his body must be handed over to his Hindu friend, Mahant Narasimha Nanda Saraswati of the Dasna temple, and he should light his pyre.
