Just when the ruling BJP, thought all was well after senior leader Kailash Vijayvargiya retracted his statement on Shah Rukh Khan, now Yogi Adityanath, the BJP MP from Gorakhpur comparing the popular actor with 26/11 terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed of Pakistan.

"Shah Rukh should understand that if Muslims don't see his films, he will be on the roads. There is no difference in what Shah Rukh Khan and Hafiz Saeed say," said Aditynath.

Vijayvargiya said that he was withdrawing his anti-Shah Rukh tweets that have earned him strong criticism from his own party and others.
