in the backdrop of the Bulandshahr violence where ‘cow is being given more importance than death of a police officer", UP’s Navnirman Sena president Amit Jani booked Shah’s ticket from Mumbai to Karachi for August 14 - Pakistan’s Independence Day. “If

is scared in India, he should not delay in leaving for Pakistan. I have booked a ticket for him for August 14 – Pakistan Independence Day, so that India has one less ‘traitor’,” said Amit Jani.

In a video interview to Karwan-e-Mohabbat India, a collective focused on highlighting and combating hate crimes and lynching, Shah had earlier said that he felt anxious about the future of his children. "I feel anxious for my children, because tomorrow, if a mob surrounds them and asks, 'Are you a Hindu or a Muslim?', they will have no answer." He was speaking in the backdrop of Bulandshahr violence, wherein alleged cow slaughter led to the death of a police inspector earlier this month. "In many areas, we are witnessing that the death of a cow has more significance than that of a police officer," the actor had said.

Further taking a dig at Shah, Amit Jani, said, “But if Shah doesn’t want to go to Pakistan, he should read Hanuman Chalisa, because after all BJP MLC Bukkal Nawab has said that Hanuman is Muslim.”

Jani was talking in the backdrop of the a new twist to the debate over Lord Hanuman after Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath termed the god a Dailt. BJP MLC Bukkal Nawab on Thursday had said Hanuman was "actually a Muslim".

"Lord Hanuman belongs to all, and as far as I think, Hanumanji was actually a Muslim," said Nawab, who left the Samajwadi Party to join the BJP when the Yogi Adityanath government came to power.
