BJP MLA calls Virat Kohli 'anti-national' for marrying in Italy


Daijiworld Media Network

New Delhi, Dec 19: A BJP MLA has called Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli an 'anti-national' for choosing Italy over India, as his marriage destination.

Panna La Shakya, BJP MLA from Guna, Madhya Pradesh said that Kohli cannot be an inspiration to Indians as only those who are loyal deserve to be inspirations. "Virat has earned money and fame in India and he went to Italy to get married. Bhagwan Ram got married on this land, Bhagwan Krishna got married on this land and this man went to Italy to get married. He cannot be a 'Rashtra Bhakt (patriot)," he said after inaugurating Prime Minister's Skill India Centre in Guna.

"Dancers of Italy have become billionaires in India while Kohli took India's wealth out of the country," he said taking a dig at Sonia Gandhi.

Meanwhile, the Congress has termed Shakya’s outburst as an impact of the Gujarat polls.

"Their supreme leader questioned the integrity of a former army chief, a former prime minister and a former vice president to divide society and win votes in Gujarat. The BJP is now applying the same strategy in Madhya Pradesh," said Congress spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi.

Such tactics won’t work in Madhya Pradesh, he said and termed the MLA's rant deplorable.

Netizens have taken to social media to troll Panna La Shakya for his statements.

Virat and Anushka Sharma got married at a private ceremony on December 11 in Tuscany, Italy with just family and close friends in attendance. They will be hosting a reception in New Delhi on December 21 and a grand gala affair in Mumbai for industry bigwigs and cricketers on December 26.

    When all the people in a village say the buffalo gave birth to a calf then anyone who wants to differ will be called anti village. We have slowly getting to that point under the garb of nationalism and culture lovers...The voices who want to differ are slowly diminishing ... Hope these kind of so called leaders who depend on hate culture will be routed out and rendered useless by public...

    This Idiot is an MLA? No wonder BJP Sucks. Everyone has the freedom to celebrate as he or she wishes. Whether to have the wedding in India or abroad is a personal choice. And with idiots like these who would want to have the ceremony in India?
    Most probably thought that he should have been invited as the VVIP at the wedding and got angry to be ignored.
    Anyway who is this MLA? Anyone important? Best to ignore him and not give him any more national coverage.

    Smile, and wish Virat & Anuskha.

Tomorrow might say want to see why they eat and what they eat.Horrible.One can travel anywhere one want .then why not marry in a personal atmosphere without much tam tam.Afterall he will be giving a Party in India.

    Jobless MLA is hunger for cheap publicity. Till this moment he pronounced uncalled comments against the cricketer, no one knows this thukda MKA. Now he is famous among all Indian.

    Vibrant doesn’t need a nationalistic certificate from this guy. Virat should tell him ‘just shut up’.
