Prashant Bhushan retreats, apologises for comment on Lord Krishna
His apology came two days after Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga filed a complaint at the Tilak Marg police station and an aggressive campaign against him was initiated on the social media.
“I realise that my tweet on Romeo squads and Krishna was inappropriately phrased... I unintentionally hurt the sentiments of many people. I apologise and delete it,” Bhushan tweeted on Tuesday.
Bhushan had invited the ire of the BJP and the members of the saffron family after he taunted the "anti-Romeo" drive initiated by the Yogi Adityanath Government in Uttar Pradesh with reports of police cracking down on young couples out in public places.
Bhushan had tweeted : “Romeo loved just one lady while Krishna was a legendary eve-teaser. Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes Anti-Krishna squads?”
Bhushan very soon received a vicious rebuff with many describing his comment as an attack on Hinduism and trolling him on social networking sites.
