#PareshRawal in trouble? Actor's misinterpreted remarks on Rohingya immigrants make him face criticism publicly

Gandhinagar, Dec 3: Veteran actor Paresh Rawal recently came under fire of criticism for a statement he made during an election rally in Gujarat, where referring to the revdi schemes of AAP govt and the rohingya immigrants in Delhi, he said, "What will you do with gas cylinders? Cook fish for the Bengalis?"

 

 

 

 

During his speech addressing the crowd he said "Gas cylinders are expensive, but their price will come down. People will get employment too. But what will happen if Rohingya migrants and Bangladeshis start living around you, like in Delhi? What will you do with gas cylinders? Cook fish for the Bengalis?" he said. The comments did not go down well with many. The actor was accused of hurting the sentiments of Bengali people with his words.

 

 

 

 

 

Users on Twitter started questioning the actor for his remarks where one of the tweets read, "We are sad that & hurt at the recent comments of @SirPareshRawal". Another tweet read, "So Paresh Rawal openly spreads hate against us Bengalis for eating fish. Won't the CM at least register a protest? Won't we ?" Amidst the backlash, the "OMG: Oh My God!" actor took to Twitter to clarify and apologize.

 

In response to a user asking him to "clarify", the actor wrote, "of course the fish is not the issue as Gujaratis do cook and eat fish. But let me clarify by 'Bengali' I meant illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya. But still if I have hurt your feelings and sentiments I do apologize."
