A video posted on social media on Tuesday purportedly shows Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu saluting a large crowd of pilgrims during a visit to the Kaaba.

The video showed the pilgrims chanting phrases such as “Allahuakbar,” and “Ya Allah Bismillah,” while the prime minister is saluting them. The incident has drawn strong reactions from social media users, who have accused the prime minister of turning Islam’s most sacred place into a political rally.

Davutoğlu paid an official visit to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, over last weekend. During his stay, he also visited the Kaaba.
