I was ashamed to be a Muslim – Jitendra Narayan Singh Tyagi ( formerly Waseem Rizvi)
After embracing Hindu Dharma, Jitendra Narayan Tyagi said, “It is not an issue of conversion. Which religion should I accept was a question after I was debarred from Islam. Sanatan is the first-ever religion of the world and it has so many good things that are absent in any other religion. After Friday prayers, Jumma, awards were announced to kill me. Fatwa was issued to behead me. In such a scenario, I was ashamed to remain a Muslim.“

Rizvi had prepared a will wishing cremation according to Hindu rituals instead of burial
Waseem Rizvi had filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the removal of 26 ayat from the Quran, but Court dismissed it. After that, all India Faizan e Madina Council has issued a fatwa declaring a bounty of 10 lakh rupees on his head and a free Haj pilgrimage. Muslim organisations have debarred Waseem Rizvi from Islam, after which Rizvi decided to convert. He prepared his will in which he mentioned that after his death, he should not be buried but cremated. Some people wish to kill him. Muslim will prevent his burial in the cemetery. Hence, he should be cremated instead of buried, Mahant Narsinghanand Giri should light the pyre.
