That shocking controversy erupted after Meera Rathore, district president of the All India Hindu Mahasabha in Dishti Khet, made a highly provocative statement against Shah Rukh Khan. She announced a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh for anyone who “brings his tongue”, while blackening his poster and hitting it with slippers. Rathore said her protest was linked to the recent killings of Hindus in Bangladesh and Khan’s association with Bangladeshi players in his IPL team. Her remarks quickly drew attention and sparked outrage across social media and news platforms.
