Tipu wore ring with Ram engraved on it when he died: Azam Khan

Amid ongoing row over the birth anniversary celebration of Tipu Sultan, UP minister Azam Khan on Thursday asked PM Narendra Modi to bring back a ring of the 18th century Mysore ruler from London, which he claimed bore the name of Lord Rama.

The Samajwadi Party leader asked the prime minister to bring the ring, which he claimed is "preserved in Britain's museum", and show it to “those BJP activists who have been launching anti-Tipu Sultan stir”. 

Modi is on a three-day tour to Britain. Azam said the ring is of “utmost historic value”.  The Samajwadi Party leader also asked the Prime Minister to bring home the Kohinoor diamond.

“PM is going to dine with Queen (Elizabeth II), who wears Kohinoor fitted crown. Will Modiji ask her to return the precious diamond to India?” he asked.
