      This is the only thing I see

      Mondal said the lion called Akbar had previously been named after the Hindu deity Rama when he was in the neighbouring state of Tripura, which is controlled by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party.

      But the lion’s name was changed when he was brought to West Bengal, which is controlled by the opposition Trinamool Congress party. The VHP petition calls for a ban on using religious names for animals in zoos.

      I don’t see any muslim nationalists. And half of this is the party leader’s testimony. I have no idea how accurate this is.

        Thanks. I was too lazy to check for myself.
        You are in fact correct. It’s not a Muslim party, just the opposition trying to rile up the governing party.
