After protests by overseas Hindus BK withdrew the ad with yet another inane apology which doesnt fool anyone. When they used the word 'sacred' they knew it was a Hindu Goddess because islam doesnt depict men, forget women and jesus's mother didnt sit on a lotus. Tharror was asked by the media to comment on the ad to which he replied with towering arrogance - this has nothing to do with the government of India, that it was a domestic issue of another country (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), that 'we' dont need to have an opinion on every issue that comes up. Sure. Particularly if that issue concerns Hindus - Malaysian Hindus, Ganesha on toilet covers.... But MEA took up Buddha with footwear around his neck with Sweden. And our PM spent sleepless nights over some Muslim doctor being harassed in Australia Is it Tharror's slip or the Congress' slip or Sonia Gandhi's slip which is showing?
