A day after being expelled from the BJP for deroigatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad, Jindal said his primary concern at present was protecting himself and his family from death threats
A day after being expelled from the BJP over his controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad, party's former Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal on Monday described himself as a "proud Hindu" and greeted his supporters on Twitter with 'Jai Shri Ram'.
Mr. Jindal said his primary concern at present was protecting himself and his family as incessant death threats were pouring in on social media from within the country and abroad.
"I have submitted a complaint to the police demanding my security cover back. I have faith in Banke Bihari and he will help me pass through this difficult times," Mr. Jindal told PTI.
On Sunday, the communication from Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta to Mr. Jindal said his views on social media vitiate communal harmony and are in violation of the party's fundamental beliefs.
He has acted against the party's policies and ideology, Mr. Gupta had said.
"Your primary membership is immediately terminated and you are expelled from the party," Mr. Gupta had said in the communication.
Mr. Jindal had come under attack on social media after his tweet about Prophet Mohammad on June 1.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
