Bhati told that in his speech he had mentioned the bad sayings and idioms prevalent in the society regarding castes. He said that such things have been said against every society and their aim was only to show that this kind of thinking is wrong in the society.
‘Does not think wrong about Brahmins’
The SP spokesperson said that he had also said in his speech that a journalist had recited to him a couplet related to Brahmin and Vaishya community, but it was so bad that he never recited it in public. He had also said that he does not consider such couplets to be correct and Brahmins are very good and respectable people in the society.
Bhati alleged that a clip of only a few seconds from his entire speech was being cut and made viral on social media so that he could be called anti-Brahmin. He appealed to the people to watch the entire video.
‘If anyone gets hurt, apologize with folded hands’
In his statement, Rajkumar Bhati said, “If my words have hurt any Brahmin brother or hurt his heart, then I apologize with folded hands without any condition. I had no such intention and can never do so.”
