Mumbai, Jun 3: Actor-politician Paresh Rawal says he has no regrets about his tweet on Arundhati Roy as the author has been badmouthing the Army, which well never hit back at her.The BJP MP had received a lot of flak on social media for saying the army should “tie” Roy to an army jeep instead of a “stone pelter”, a reference to an incident in Kashmir where a protester was used as a shield by security personnel against stone pelting.
The 67-year-old actor’s tweet came after the Pakistani media reported remarks by Roy criticising the Indian Army’s action in Kashmir. The report later turned out to be untrue. But Rawal said he isn’t sorry even if the report on Roy is “fake news”. He went on to say that even if she was “tied” to an Army jeep, no stonepelter would attack her as she supported their
ideology.
