New Delhi, Jan 7: Anurag Thakur, the chief of BJP youth wing, has strongly refuted media reports that he had called Congress president a ‘witch' on his Facebook account. Thakur said he had nothing to do with the FB account in question.
"I have made no comments on anyone. The newspaper which did this story, never, tried to find out if it is a fake account. They didn't even bother to ask me. I have never commented on any woman or, on any individual. It is all false," he said.
"On my Facebook account, there isn't anything like this. I think they should have asked me. Just to make a story, they have printed it. I have never said anything like that. I request the electronic and print media not to run any story that is false. I have never made any such comment in the past, nor will I make any such comments in the future," he added.
According to some media reports, Anurag Thakur had made obscene remarks about a number of celebrities, including Mahesh Bhatt, Sherlyn Chopra, Sunny Leone and Poonam Pandey in the past.
Anurag Thakur was quoted as saying "The difference between India and Bharat is that India is the place where The Dirty Picture gets a national award. India is the place where Mahesh Bhatt talks about sex with his daughter. India is the place where Sherlyn Chopra gets her picture clicked for the cover of Playboy and says had my father been alive, he would have been extremely proud of me. India is the place where the media celebrates the birthday of a foreign porn star. India is the place where a woman like Poonam Pandey openly speaks about stripping herself naked.
And the last line used the controversial word. Making a veiled remark on Sonia Gandhi the last line read, "India is the place where the top leaders of the country are puppets in the hands of a (dayan) witch."
