The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday strongly criticised former Vice President Hamid Ansari over his remarks on Mahmud of Ghazni, alleging that he portrayed the historical figure as an Indian rather than a foreign invader. Sharing a video clip of Ansari’s purported comments on X, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused him of eulogising Ghazni, who is widely associated with the destruction and desecration of the Somnath temple.
