Paresh Rawal apologises for his 'cook fish for Bengalis' remark: 'I meant illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya'

Actor-turned-politician Paresh Rawal recently offered an apology for hurting sentiments of a netizen who had tweeted, 'Fish shouldn’t have been the topic. He needs to clarify.' Paresh replied to the netizen's tweet and 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 apologise.' For the uninitiated, it all happened after BJP's former MP from Ahmedabad East reportedly said, '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?' For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
