Bengaluru: Calling his defeat in the recent Lok Sabha poll as a ‘slap on his face’, independent candidate Prakash Raj has moved on. However, the actor-turned-politician took to twitter to talk about an incident that happened with him when he was shooting for his upcoming film in Kashmir.
Prakash said in the tweet, “As I walked out of my hotel in Gulmarg..Kashmir..a lady n her young daughter asked me for a selfie.. I obliged.. they were so happy. But suddenly her husband barged in abusing and asked them to delete it..since I differed with Modi..the tourists around were watching this..this women were in tears..I took him aside and spoke.
“Dear sir.. Mr Modi or me are not the reason your wife married you..gave you this wonderful daughter and shared a life with you. Please respect their views as they respect yours..enjoy your vacation” As he stood without an answer..i walked away with a heavy heart..wondering.. He may or may not delete my photograph.. But Will he..heal their wound.”
Prakash Raj has been critical about Narendra Modi and the BJP and has voiced his contempt against both many times in the past.
