The BJP has removed Arun Yadav as the IT cell chief of the party’s Haryana unit this evening amid a rising chorus for his arrest over a 2017 tweet on the Prophet and Islam.
The calls for his arrest grew stronger against the backdrop of AltNews co-founder Mohammed Zubair’s arrest over a four-year-old tweet.
Social media was abuzz since evening, with #ArrestArunYadav trending on Twitter and users sharing his tweets from May this year and from 2017. The hashtag has over 50,000 tweets.
Last month, the party suspended its spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled another functionary, Naveen Jindal, after massive international condemnation of their controversial comments and tweets against the Prophet.
