[5]The New Indian Express • Controversial ‘Suresh-Abdul’ Video In December 2022, he stirred controversy when in one of his tutorial videos he explained how the meaning of a sentence changes when a Muslim name, such as Abdul is used instead of a Hindu name, such as Suresh. In the video, he said, "There are some sentences which have two meanings. For example, if you say Suresh was flying an aeroplane, then it will have one meaning. But if you say Abdul is flying a plane, then it will mean different to people…" [6]Mint Ashok Kumar Pandey, an author and historian, tweeted the video and wrote, "This is called the limit of meanness. Such people are cheap businessmen who spread hatred in society while doing the business of education. This man should be arrested immediately."

In the video, he was teaching about how China occupied Tibet in 1959. He added that China tortured the people of Tibet, separated the members of their families, and sent them to different parts of China due to which they kept focusing on finding their family members rather than coming together to protest against China and fight for their independence. He compared Kashmir with the China-Tibet situation and said that Kishmir would also become a peaceful place if the Indian government had sent stone-pelting Kishmiris to various parts of India.
