A photo is being widely shared on social media in which a woman can be seen putting tilak on the forehead a man wearing a skullcap.
The caption of the picture read: “भाइयों मैंने इस्लाम छोड़कर हिन्दू धर्म को अपनाया है अल्लाह के नाम पर जिहाद करके लोगों की जान लेने वाला और हलाला के नाम पर अपनी माँ बहनों की इज़्ज़त को दाँव पर लगाने वाला इस्लाम जैसा बेहूदा कोई धर्म नहीं हो सकता अब से मैं श्री राम की शरण में हूँ जय श्री राम”
(Translation: Brothers, I have embraced Islam and adopted Hindu religion, in the name of Allah, killing people and taking the honor of their mothers in the name of Allah, there is no deceptive religion like Islam, which can be treated at the right time. From now on I have surrendered to Shri Ram I am ji shri ram)
