After facing backlash over his alleged derogatory remark against Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant on Saturday tendered his apology, saying that he never intended to insult women in his five decades of political service.
Sawant on Friday sparked controversy after allegedly referring to Shaina NC, former BJP leader who switched to Shiv Sena ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, as “imported maal.”
“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,” Sawant said.
