Sacked BJP leader Naveen Jindal, while talking to India Today, claimed that a million dollar bounty had been announced for killing him after his controversial remark about Prophet Muhammad.
Naveen Jindal, who was expelled from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday over his controversial remarks against the Prophet Muhammad, said that he had been receiving death threats.
“I am receiving death threats through the addresses posted on social media. A million dollar bounty has been placed for killing me,” said Naveen Jindal while talking to India Today.
Jindal said that he had no intentions of hurting any religious sentiments and whatever he said was a reaction. “When there is an action, then there is a reaction to it as well. It is my reaction to that action,” said Jindal and added, “Abusive words were said about Lord Ram, Sita and Hanuman ji. A lot of things were said about Maa Gayatri, Brahma ji, Saraswati and Shivling”.
