In his defense, Arvind Sawant of Shiv Sena (UBT) said, I have been targeted by giving it a different meaning,
but if my statement has hurt anyone’s feelings then I express regret.
After facing severe backlash for his “Imported Maal” remark on Shinde led Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC, Arvind Sawant apologized for his comment adding that he never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
While addressing to media Sawant said, “For the last one day, an atmosphere is being created that I have insulted a woman, I have never done this in my life. I am being deliberately targeted by giving a different meaning, I am sad about this but still, if my statement has hurt anyone’s feelings then I express
regret. The respect of women in the country cannot be seen according to the party.
An MP from the Shiv Sena group (UBT), Arvind Sawant, is accused of calling Shaina an “imported maal,” claiming that she had spent her entire life in the BJP before switching to another party. Only the original ‘maal’ works here; imported’maal’ does not.”
Shaina NC filed a complaint against Arvind Sawant at the Nagpada Police Station over his comment on her.
