BJP Leader Sangeet Som Calls Shah Rukh Khan 'Traitor' For Buying Bangladeshi Cricketer Mustafizur

A major political controversy has erupted over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) acquiring Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman for the IPL. BJP leader Sangeet Som launched a scathing attack on KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan, stating, 'Traitors like Shah Rukh Khan are buying cricket players like Rehman.' Som argued that players from Bangladesh should not be welcomed while Hindus face atrocities there. The Shiv Sena (UBT) also criticized the move, alleging the funds could nurture terrorism. Conversely, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge defended the decision, asserting it aligns with BCCI regulations.
