A statement issued by state BJP president O P Dhankar said that Arun Yadav is being removed from the post with immediate effect. However, he did not mention any reason for his sacking.

#ArrestArunYadav was trending on Twitter earlier on Thursday with his tweets posted between May this year and 2017 shared thousands of times. His controversial tweet dates back to 2017 but went viral on social media now.

According to a NDTV report, no police complaint has been filed against Yadav yet and the BJP is yet to remove him from the party.

The development comes days after Nupur Sharma's controversial remarks during a TV debate triggered protests across the country and drew sharp reactions from many Gulf countries.
