A BJP leader has threatened to prevent Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman from playing in Kolkata and warned Shah Rukh Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), that he won't be allowed in the city. The leader cited tensions with Bangladesh and alleged that money earned by Bangladeshi players could fund arms used against Hindus. KKR purchased Rahman for Rs 9.20 crore. While some religious groups and BJP leaders criticized Khan as a 'traitor,' Congress leaders have supported him, highlighting a divided response to the controversy.
