Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Ram Gopal Yadav has triggered a political storm with his claim that Rajput ruler Rana Sanga invited Mughal emperor Babur to India to fight against Ibrahim Lodi. His remarks have been perceived by critics as an insult to Hindus and the Rajput community, drawing sharp reactions from political opponents and historians alike.
The statement has sparked demands for an apology from various Hindu and Rajput organizations, who argue that Yadav’s remarks distort historical facts and undermine the legacy of Rajput warriors. However, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has defended his party colleague, stating that history should be understood in the right context and not misrepresented for political gains.
