Paresh Rawal Wants Arundhati Roy To Be Tied To Army Jeep Instead Of Stone Pelter, Receives Flak
Bollywood actor and BJP politician Paresh Rawal drew people's wrath on social media after he tweeted about Arundhati Roy.
He took to social media to write, "Instead of tying stone pelter on the army jeep tie Arundhati Roy !"
Instead of tying stone pelter on the army jeep tie Arundhati Roy !

The tweet has received close to 4500 retweets and 9,000 favourites. The context of the tweet is, however, not clear. After his controversial tweet, one of his followers tweeted, "but i totally agree with u @SirPareshRawal if #ArundhatiRoy is not available @sagarikaghose is always available #IPL"
Paresh Rawal retweeted that and quoted with writing "We have a wide variety of choices."

The tweet is in connection with the man who was being tied to the front of an Indian Army vehicle, being paraded in a village in Central Kashmir¡¯s Budgam district, as a warning to stone-pelters.
Author and political activist Arundhati Roy is known to have controversial views on the Kashmir issue which derives a flak. But with the unabashed tweet, the actor has kicked up a storm on social media. Take a look at some of the tweets.
Such a depressing time to find veteran actor Paresh Rawal join the bigoted rank of Anupam Kher to make such a shallow, misogynistic tweet.

Paresh Rawal's violence-inciting tweet against a booker winning writer isn't much different from calls to kill Rushdie by Khomeini in 89.
