New Delhi:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajasthan president Madan Lal Saini on Wednesday stated that Mughal ruler Humayun told Babur that to rule in India, he must respect cows, Brahmins, and women.
Saini’s statement, which was historically shambolic, quickly became a laughing stock.
“When Humayun was dying, he called Babur and told him, “If you want to rule Hindustan, you must keep three things in mind- respect cows, brahmins & women,†Saini said on Tuesday, as per news agency ANI.

As per historical facts, Babur died in 1531, while Humayun died in 1556.
The BJP is already facing a backlash over the lynching of Rakbar Khan in Alwar district of Rajasthan and Saini’s statement has not helped them a bit.
Soon after his statement, Twitter witnessed a history lesson meltdown.
Here are some of the best reaction:
Humayun died in 1556. But when he was dying, he somehow called Babur who was already dead in 1531 to give him this gyaan.

If only Babur had listened to Humayun's wise words... ! Oh wait.
In any case, I want whatever it is that he is smoking.
BJP President Madan Lal Saini said when Humayun was dying, he called Babur and told him if he wants to rule India - respect cows. Can someone show him this Pears ad? (Spoiler: Babur ka beta Humayun aur Humayun ka? Akbar!!)https://t.co/gCujwzqYP5

But how exactly did a dying Humayun call his already dead father Babur?
Did he use some ancient mantra? https://t.co/Mp4eXOZ1yS
Yesss... when Humayun was dying on 27 January 1556, he called Babur who was already dead on 26 December 1530 to have an urgent discussion. Probably Humayun took help of planchette to call his father's spirit.
