New Delhi, Nov 4 (Agencies) : BJP’s fire-brand leader Yogi Adityanath came all guns blazing against super star Shahrukh Khan, comparing him with Hafiz Saeed.
Advising him not to make anti-national comments, Yogi Adityanath said his comments were like Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed.
He also made a controversial comment on Muslims, saying if Hindus don’t watch Shahrukh Khan’s movies, he would wander on road like other Muslims.
Meanwhile, Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kailash Vijayvargiya today retracted his controversial ‘Bharat Virodhi’ remark for Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, saying it was not intended to ‘hurt anyone’s sentiments’.
“If India was ‘intolerant’ then Khan would not be the most popular actor in the nation after Amitabh Bachchan. My tweet has been taken out of context. However, I take back what I said since I had no intention to hurt anyone’s sentiment,” Vijayvargiya tweeted.
Vijayvargiya had earlier called Shah Rukh Khan an “anti-nationalist” and condemned him over his “extreme intolerance” comment, saying his “soul” was in Pakistan though he lives in India.
“Shah Rukh lives in India, but his soul is in Pakistan. His films make crores here but he thinks India to be intolerant,” he said in a series of tweets amid mounting concerns over the “growing intolerance” in the country.
