I knew that, some people live in Taloja who are from Konkan and many of my friends also live there. But, we deviated from the topic here, due to which they felt that, I said something bad about Konkan (Konkani community) and made fun of them. Whereas my intention was not like this.”
Along with this, he (Munawar Faruqui) further said in the video, “I did not want to hurt anyone. If anyone’s sentiments have been hurt by my words, then I publicly apologize for my statement. There were people from all communities in this show – Marathi, Muslim and Hindu. But I did not intend to hurt anyone. So I apologize to all of you from my heart.”
Actually, Munawar Faruqui had used derogatory words for the people of the Konkani community during a show. After this, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane had warned him.
