Months after converting to Hinduism, Waseem Rizvi says Hindu society has not accepted him with love
Says he is overwhelmed by depression and might end his life
New Delhi: Waseem Rizvi, the former Chief of Shia Waqf Board of Uttar Pradesh who earlier last year converted to Hinduism has released a video adding that the Hindu society has not accepted him with love that he deserved after his “ghar vapasi”.
In the video that is now being shared on Twitter, Rizvi, who changed his name to Jitendra Tyagi after conversion to Hinduism can be seen expressing his pain of not being accepted into Hindu society with the love that he deserved.
He further adds that he is overwhelmed with depression and might want to end his life himself instead of being killed by his enemies.
In the video, he also said that his decision to convert to Hinduism was a mindful decision and he doesn’t regret his “ghar vapasi” but is instead disappointed with how he was treated in the Hindu society after he converted from Islam.
“I was treated like a distant relative who returns home after several years. The way the family members who live together do not mix up with their distant relative who has returned after several years, even I was not accepted by the Hindu society.” He said in the video.
"I am opening up today because I don't know what will happen to me and I am overwhelmed by the depression," he added.
