‘Shah Rukh Khan Jaise Gaddaar….’: BJP Leader Sangeet Som Takes A Dig At King Khan Over KKR’s Purchase Of THIS Bangladeshi Player In IPL 2026

Uttar Pradesh BJP leader Sangeet Som targeted Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan and launched a scathing attack against him over the Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) purchase of Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman in the IPL 2026 auction. Sangeet Som called Khan a “traitor” for buying the Bangladeshi player and including him in the squad. Som was speaking at a political event and linked the signing of Mustafizur Rahman to the current national sentiment over the killing of Hindus in Bangladesh.

Som, while speaking at the event, said that “If a player like Rahman comes to play in India, he will not step to the airport, we are standing with him. The society should take down the traitors like Shah Rukh Khan, the way he is betraying the country, if you are here till today, then the people of this country will not stop you. Like Rahman come to play in India, they won’t be able to step outside the airport, I am saying this with confidence. Traitors like Shah Rukh Khan should understand the kind of betrayal they are committing against the country.)

In his speech he further added, “If you get money, then you meet the people of this country, but you betray the country with that money. Sometimes you talk about donating to Pakistan, sometimes you talk about buying players like Rahman. This will not continue in the country anymore. These traitors will no longer exist in the country (If you get Money, it’s from the people of this country. Sometimes you talk about buying players like Rahman. These traitors will no longer have a place in the country.

SRK under heavy fire

Som isn’t the only one who criticised Shah Rukh Khan over the purchase of Mustafizur Rahman for KKR. Spiritual leader Devkinandan Thakur also objected to KKR’s decision and demanded that the player should not be played, he warned of a boycott if Rahman was allowed to take the field.

Both the clips of Som and Thakur have gone viral and gained a lot of traction. The KKR management or Shah Rukh Khan has not responded to these statements so far.

Why was Bangladeshi cricketer given a place in IPL?
Why are the sentiments of Hindus ignored again and again?
If there is true love for Hindus, then the Bangladeshi cricketer should be dropped from the team right now.#IPL2026Auction #IPL2026 #bangladeshi #IPL #BCCI pic.twitter.com/N5tQJqO4es
