Sharing the video clip, Khan in the post said, "We can not tolerate such impertinence for our beloved Prophet Muhammad. This hateful insect should be awarded the most severe punishment by slitting his tongue and neck.
Tagging Delhi Police in his tweet, Khan further said, "But the law of the land does not permit us to do this, we have faith in the Indian constitution, and I want Delhi Police to take note of this."

The development has come after a video clip went viral on social media where Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati urged Hindus to be fearless in highlighting the characteristics of Prophet Muhammad.
According to reports, Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati while speaking at an event held at the Press Club of India, said "Hindus need not be afraid of speaking about Muhammad. We are Hindus. If we can talk about the characteristics of Lord Ram, and other Hindu deities, then Muhammad is nothing for us. Why can't we speak truth about Muhammad?"
