BJP leader Sangeet Som praised the BCCI's decision to ask the IPL franchise KKR to release Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman, calling it a victory for Hindus and Sanatan Dharma. The BCCI cited recent developments and allowed KKR to seek a replacement. The controversy arose after KKR selected Rahman, with some BJP and Shiv Sena leaders objecting due to reports of violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Som specifically targeted KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, stating that living in India while opposing Sanatan values is unacceptable.
