I'm proud of the Mughals, Congress MP Abdul Khaliq sparks fresh controversy

Congress MP Abdul Khaliq on August 30 sparked a fresh controversy by saying that he is proud of the Mughals as they shaped India and made Hindustan. He said, “India, which was divided into small (princely) states, was given the form of Hindustan. So I’m proud of the Mughals, but I’m not a Mughal, not their descendant. They gave a shape, the name Hindustan, so I'm proud of them.”
