"I see a terrorist in this man called #Virdas. He is one of those members of a sleeper cell who has waged a war against our country on foreign land. Should be immediately arrested under #UAPA and tried under terror laws", he wrote.?
Furthermore, explaining to TOI, he said, "This act of Vir Das is an act of terrorism. Abusing your own country on foreign land is nothing but an act of terrorism, so he should be tried under all terror laws and he should be put behind bars. This country is not a country of rapists, this country is one of the strongest countries of the world, and the entire world has accepted the strength of India."
"Vir Das and gang of urban naxals like Arundhati Roy, Kunal Kaamra, and the tukde tukde gang, have been abusing India on a foreign land so that it indirectly hits the image of our Prime Minister.I've never heard Vir Das say that the Sikhs have been massacred in this country, Kashmiri Hindus are killed--never seen them talking about such things," he added.
On the other hand, Raza Murad says he wants a legal action against him. He also said, "It is a highly irresponsible statement. You are an Indian, you go abroad to make people laugh at the cost of your country and at our people¡¯s expense. You make fun of us and people identify you as an Indian. If you will speak in that manner, if you don¡¯t respect your country and people, who else will?"
Meanwhile, several celebrities including Richa Chadha and Hansal Mehta among others have come out in support of Vir Das.
