New Delhi, Jan. 30 -- Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shahnawaz Hussain on Friday said that the former Vice President Hamid Ansari is "breaking a well-established high dignity" with his claims on Mahmud Ghazni being an Indian.

Shahnawaz Hussain added that to call someone who "attacked India's self-respect", an Indian is "unfortunate."

"Former Vice President Hamid Ansari is breaking a well-established high dignity. He's calling Ghazni an Indian. Did Ghazni live in his neighbourhood? Why is he distributing certificates like this? The one who destroyed Somnath, the one who looted gold, the one who attacked India's self-respect, he's calling him an Indian. This is unfortunate," he said.
