Sparking a fresh controversy, saffron-clad BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj today claimed himself to be a true Muslim and dubbed Prophet Mohammed as a “great yogi” and the biggest practitioner of yoga.
“The biggest name in Islam is that of Mohammed and I consider Mohammed saab as a great yogi. A Muslim is one who has ‘iman’ and that is why called a Mussalman. I am a true Muslim,” said the leader, who has made several controversial remarks about minorities in the past. He further said people should stop communalising the sun.
“If sun does not rise, the whole world will become blind. Those who communalise sun should not take its light,” he said.
