NEW DELHI: BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has sensationally revealed that Jawan actor Shah Rukh Khan was responsible behind the release of eight Indians, who were sentenced to death in Qatar.

According to Swamy, it was Shah Rukh who had managed to secure the safe release of these Indians after top officials of the Indian foreign ministry and National Security Advisor failed to persuade Qatar to release former Indian Navy officials.

“Modi should take Cinema star Sharuk Khan to Qatar with him since after MEA and NSA had failed to persuade the Shiekhs of Qatar, Modi pleaded with Khan to intervene, and thus got an expensive settlement from the Qatar Shiekhs to free our Naval officers,” wrote Swamy in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Swamy was replying to a post shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi about his trips to the UAE and Qatar.

Modi had tweeted, “Over the next two days, I will be visiting the UAE and Qatar to attend various programmes, which will deepen India’s bilateral relations with these nations. My visit to the UAE will be my seventh since assuming office, indicating the priority we attach to strong India-UAE friendship. I am eager to meet my brother, HH @MohamedBinZayed. I will have the honour of inaugurating the first Hindu Mandir in the UAE. I will also address the Indian Community at a community programme in Abu Dhabi. I will also speak at the @WorldGovSummit and meet @HHShkMohd in Dubai. I look forward to meeting HH Sheikh @TamimBinHamad , under whose leadership Qatar is witnessing immense growth.”

No sooner did Swamy tweet claiming Shah Rukh’s role in securing the release of Indians from Qatar, the internet exploded as people began to thank the celebrated Bollywood stars.
