Nupur Sharma Comment Row: Venkatesh Prasad reveals on hanging of BJP politician's effigy, says this
"This is an effigy of Nupur Sharma hanging in Karnataka. Simply cannot believe that this is 21st century, India. I would urge everyone to leave politics aside and let sanity prevail. This is just too much," Prasad said in his first tweet on the issue.
Later, Prasad received many tweets asking why he is talking about this issue and not other problems or events. Replying to the tweets, the ex-cricketer said, "The whataboutery to this tweet is simply unbelievable. News channels along with justifiers and people indulging in whataboutery are significant contributors to the pitiful situation. This is not just an effigy By the way, but a threat to more than one person in no uncertain terms."
