BJP's Jammu and Kashmir unit File Complaint Against Nazia Over Prophet Remarks

The Bharatiya Janata Party's Jammu and Kashmir unit on Thursday said it would file a formal complaint with the competent law enforcement authorities in Srinagar against social media influencer Nazia Elahi Khan over her alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad. 

The controversy erupted after a video clip from an Instagram podcast, in which Khan was in conversation with a host identified as Divya Singh, went viral on social media. Several Muslim organisations alleged that her remarks hurt the religious sentiments of the community and could disturb communal harmony.

Khan is already



facing police action in Maharashtra. An FIR has been registered against her at Shanti Nagar Police Station in Bhiwandi, while the Raza Academy has also lodged a complaint at Mumbai's Pydhonie Police Station seeking legal action. Police officials said a Zero FIR process has been initiated and the case is likely to be transferred to West Bengal, where the alleged offence falls under jurisdiction.

Khan, who describes herself as a BJP member on social media, has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the videos being circulated are fabricated or AI-generated. She has also alleged that she has received threats following the controversy.
