'My family is in danger': Naveen Jindal, expelled over Prophet Muhammad remark, tweets

New Delhi: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Naveen Kumar Jindal, who was expelled by the party over the row following his remarks on Prophet Muhammad, has said that his family is in danger of being attacked by Islamic fundamentalists.

"I humbly request all not to share any information about me and my family with anyone. Despite my requests, many people are posting my residential address on social media. My family faces a threat from Islamic fundamentalists," he tweeted in Hindi on Saturday.

Jindal also shared a screenshot of a number from where he claimed to have received threats and urged the Delhi Police to take action.

Jindal was expelled by the BJP last week as the party acted against him and national spokesperson Nupur Sharma for their remarks on the Prophet Muhammad that triggered a wave of protest across the country and abroad.

He has described himself as a "proud Hindu" and said his primary concern at this point is to ensure his family's safety.
