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.

Govinda's revolver accident: Mumbai crime branch officials meet actor in hospital
Mumbai (PTI): The Mumbai crime branch personnel have met actor Govinda, who sustained leg injuries after his revolver accidentally went off, and enquired with him about the incident, officials said on Wednesday.
While the local police have been conducting an investigation, the Mumbai crime branch has also initiated a parallel enquiry into the incident.
No one has lodged any complaint in this matter so far, police said.
The accident took place on Tuesday at the Mumbai residence of the 60-year-old actor and he is currently recuperating at a private hospital here.
A crime branch team led by senior police inspector Daya Nayak visited the hospital on Tuesday and spoke to the actor about the incident, an official said.
Govinda was alone when the incident took place at his residence in the early hours of Tuesday, he said.
The actor has a licensed revolver of Webley company and the bullet hit him near his left knee, the official said.
The revolver, which is an old one, was not locked and got misfired, he said.
The actor's revolver has been seized by police officials for further probe, an official earlier said.
After the incident, Govinda, a favourite with audiences for his impeccable comic timing and dancing skills, issued a statement informing his fans he is doing better.
A ruling star of Hindi cinema in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Govinda has appeared in more than 165 films in his career spanning four decades.
In March, a month before the Lok Sabha elections, Govinda joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
This marked Govinda's re-entry into the political landscape after nearly two decades.
The actor won the 2004 poll battle from the Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress ticket before stepping away from politics in 2008.
