Thiruvananthapuram, 16/6: Malayalam filmmaker and Sangh Parivar fellow traveller Ramasimhan Aboobakker announced that he has quit the BJP.
Ramasimhan, as he is widely known after he renounced Islam in December 2021 and changed his name from Ali Akbar to Ramasimhan Aboobakker, was a state committee member of the BJP till he resigned all his organisational responsibilities in the saffron party in 2021.
The Puzha Muthal Puzhavare director said there was no need to create any fuss about his decision as he is not going anywhere and would move with the “dharma” (a reference to Sanathana dharma) that he has learned.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Ramasimhan said he is “freed from everything. Only with one thing, with Dharma.”
