Ujjain, 23rd Feb. Former AAP leader and poet Kumar Vishwas apologized on Wednesday for his remark about the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and stated that he did not intend to hurt anyone’s feelings.

“I had just told the child that it would not happen just by speaking son, you will have to study, you do not study,” Kumar Vishwas said on Day 2 of the Vikramotsav event in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain on Wednesday.

“Some friends found that thing bad. If any friend felt that I had said such a thing, then I apologize,” said the poet.

“I told the organisers that if anyone has objections, I will not come from tomorrow. But, people from Delhi to Bhopal said that I should definitely come and express my views,” said Vishwas.

He continued, saying, “Even my 87-year-old father keeps on telling me that I have not studied properly, but that`s good because as long as he keeps on telling me that, I will keep on studying and learning.”

Earlier on Tuesday, at the Vikramotsav event in Ujjain, Vishwas recalled an incident and said,  “A boy who works with the RSS asked me how the budget should be. I said, you have voted the government for Ram Rajya, so the budget should also be like that.”

“There was no Budget in Ram Rajya, said the boy, to which I said this was your problem. While you are illiterate, communists are ill-informed,” Vishwas had added.

His RSS remark went viral on social media, drawing harsh criticism from the right wing.
