controversy over this statement

In fact, during the recent Gujarat assembly elections, Paresh Rawal while campaigning for BJP said, ‘Gas cylinders are expensive but their price will come down. People will get employment, people living in Gujarat will tolerate inflation, but if Rohingya refugees or Bangladeshi come to the house next door, what will they do with the gas cylinder? Will you cook fish for the Bengalis?’ A ruckus started after his statement.

Leader Mohammad Salim filed a complaint

Mohammed Salim, leader of the Communist Party of India-Marxist in West Bengal, has filed a complaint against the actor at Taltala police station. Leader Mohammad Salim, in a complaint to the police, accused Paresh Rawal of creating riots and spoiling harmony between Bengalis and other communities across the country through his speech in a public forum. He said that due to the statement of the actor, the migrant Bengalis may have to face many problems. In the complaint given to the police, he has demanded strict action against Paresh Rawal.

Mohammad Salim said that the way Paresh Rawal has raised the issue of Bengalis, it seems that all Bengalis in the country are Rohingyas or Bangladeshis. He said that Bengalis live outside West Bengal as well and this could be harmful for them. Because of the statement of the actor, Bengalis can be targeted unnecessarily.

apologized by tweeting

At the same time, after the criticism, Paresh Rawal apologized on Twitter and wrote, ‘Definitely fish is not the issue because Gujaratis cook and eat fish. Let me make it clear that I meant only illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas. Despite this, if my words have hurt your feelings, then I apologize.
