Lucknow, Dec 20 (IBNS): After being labelled as Dalit, now Lord Hanuman has been branded a Muslim by a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from Uttar Pradesh, media reports said.
Bukkal Nawab, a councillor with the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh, has said that Hanuman was actually a Muslim.
"Hanuman belonged to the entire world. He was loved by people of every religion, every sect, every community. But, as far as my beliefs go, he was a Muslim," media reports quoting Nawab as saying.
"I say Hanuman was a Muslim because the names of people in our religion, such as Rehman, Ramzan, Farman, Zishan and Qurban, rhyme with the God's," he said.
Earlier Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath triggered a controversy by branding Lord Hanuman as a Dalit.
